The other day I bought a pack of Pokemon cards. It wasn't one of the newer decks, but one of the original series (no symbol) that contained 11 cards.

One of the cards was, to my shock, a holographic Fearow, which as you all know is just an uncommon.

I know that in the newer decks, even commons can be holographic, but this is from the very first series, where only rares were holographic, and even then only a few of them were.

How rare is my holographic Fearow?
 
Matkin22, does your Fearow card look similar to this one?

That's a reverse foil card from Legendary Collection. This one's Raticate, I don't have a Fearow.

If it's similar to my Raticare card, it's not terribly rare. I'd say it's probably worth about $2.00.

I think I read somewhere that there were some common and uncommon cards from the older sets, including Jungle (which that Fearow card is originally from), so you might have a rare one.
 
Reprints are rarely worth as much as the originals. Wizards cards even less, as no one uses them outside of Unlimited.

That's true, but some people will pay quite a bit on eBay for some of the older cards so they can add them to their collections, especially if it's a misprint or has something special about it.

Lasy year, I sold an error Diglett card, with a sideways Energy symbol, for $65.00.

Some of the reverse foils are pretty popular too, I remember paying $5.00 for a reverse foil Pikachu, just because I liked the picture on the card.
 
Yes, my card does look like that! The image isn't holo, but the rest of it (front only) is. Thank you everyone for the help.
