The Topps Chrome Sparkling Articuno was part of the 1999 Topps Chrome Pokémon Series 1 set, which reprinted artwork from the original Topps TV Animation series on chromium card stock. The Sparkling parallel was the rarest variant, featuring a refractive, glitter-like finish distinct from the standard and Spectra Chrome versions. Alongside Zapdos and Moltres, Articuno was one of the three Legendary Birds included in the Sparkling subset. There are only 8 in a PSA 10 so it was difficult to find any other price data. However, a copy of the Moltres in a PSA 10 (pop 19)
sold for $9.75k in June.
