🃏 Special Collector\'s Note Massive Vintage Collection Sale: I am currently sorting through and selling off my personal collection of thousands of pieces of vintage Pokémon memorabilia exclusively from the classic golden eras. This historic headwear piece hails directly from the legendary Pokémon Center NY store location before it was rebranded in 2005. Commemorating the debut of the fifth generation style figures Latios and Latias, true unworn store exclusives from this short operational era are incredibly rare finds on the secondary market.
