This is #101 from Ultra Figus, an Argentine card and sticker company that ran a run of "International Rock" sets through the 90s, covering everyone from Metallica to Guns N' Roses to Aerosmith. This particular card catches Nirvana in a candid, sun-bleached shot - Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl sitting together, just the band as they actually looked.

These are tough in high grade. Foreign print runs with inconsistent centering, and decades of handling make a clean copies tough to find, especially for a Nirvana subject, which pulls demand from both the trading card world and the Cobain/grunge memorabilia market.

Easily in my top 3 Pokémon cards of all time.

From 2004's FireRed & LeafGreen set, the card shows Squirtle in the iconic scene from Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album cover. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, who gave us the Base Set Charizard art along with hundreds of other Pokémon art gems over the years.

There are vague references to an Arita interview where he confirmed the connection, but I haven't been able to track it down. That said, given that Arita would have been in his 20s when 'Nevermind' dropped and some of the pop culture references in his other cards, it feels like a safe bet.

All of these pieces are on hand and ready for quick shipping. Let’s make a deal!
