Why it matters
The Butterfree from the Expedition Base Set is notable for being one of the first cards to feature the E-Reader technology, which allowed players to scan the card to unlock minigames or Pokédex data. As a holofoil rare from a foundational expansion, it remains a favorite among collectors for its distinct early 2000s aesthetic and its significance in the evolution of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
