This card features the official mascots of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by South Korea and Japan—the first World Cup ever held in Asia. The mascots, known as "The Spheriks" (Kaz, Ato, and Nik), represent a futuristic, digital-inspired concept reflecting the early 2000s era. Unlike traditional player cards, mascot cards hold a unique place in collections, capturing the cultural and visual identity of a tournament. With a strong MINT 9.0 grade and perfect surface subgrade, this card stands out as a clean and visually striking piece from a historic World Cup edition.
