## Collector note
The September 1996 issue of Korokoro Comic is a notable piece for Pokémon collectors, as it captures a pivotal moment during the franchise's rise in popularity alongside the early trading card game. Published by Shogakukan, this magazine often included exclusive content and merchandise, making it a unique artifact from the 1990s. While the overall condition shows wear, the inclusion of a used mini 4WD sticker and marker for reading promotions adds to its nostalgic value. Collectors value these vintage magazines for their historical significance and limited print runs, especially from a market entrenched in authentic, well-preserved collectibles.
