Professor Oak is featured as a Trainer Supporter card from the original 1999 Pokémon TCG Base Set, making it a nostalgic classic for early collectors. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori in the simple, familiar art style of the era, the card shows Professor Oak reading a book against a mottled grey background. In gameplay this rare Supporter card’s effect (“Discard your hand, then draw 7 cards”) was a powerful draw engine in the original format. The yellow-bordered card (Base Set card #88/102) and Silver-embossed “Trainer” header are true to the vintage Pokémon TCG look, adding to its charm. As the first release of Professor Oak in the Pokémon trading card game, this card is prized by collectors for both playability and classic artwork.
