Variant information and collector relevance

Articuno #22 is known to exist in two illustrator variants: the original Toshinao Aoki “error” and the later Naoyo Kimura “corrected” version. Shopify data and the slab information do not specify which variant this particular example is, so it cannot be determined without additional documentation. Regardless of variant, the card is a central piece of the Black Star Promos lineup and a prime target for collectors aiming to obtain or preserve a complete promo run from the WOTC period.
