## “Cards” but not cards

**Poker Cards**

There are quite a few different sets of official poker/playing cards Pokemon has made or given the licensing for! I think 30 up through generation 6, but correct me if I’m wrong. To my knowledge, Tropius has been featured on two.

1.) 2006 Pokemon Center 10th Anniversary Poker Set  
Four decks were made to celebrate Pokemon’s 10th anniversary and released at Pokemon centers: blue, yellow, red, and green. They featured all generation 1-3 Pokemon, and Tropius is featured in the yellow deck. I think it’s cool to see Tropius alongside other single stage/basic (at the time) Pokemon! At the time of buying this slab, it was POP 1 in a PSA10, Now there’s 3! I believe this was a Japan only release at Pokemon Centers.

2.) 2003 Ruby/Sapphire Poker Decks  
You guessed it, these decks featured the Pokemon of Hoenn as a Japanese exclusive release! Tropius got its own card here as the Queen of Clubs, and was part of the Groudon deck. Pretty cool to be up there with Rayquaza, the King of Clubs in one of the decks.
