About this card
Call the Boss searches your deck for the Trainer card named Giovanni as soon as Persian comes down from your hand. Across the 264 cards of the two Gym sets, no other Pokémon goes looking for its own owner. It is drawn low to the ground and coming forward, mouth open, the red gem on its forehead catching the light. PSA's set registry article flags it as a card that leaves the pack with factory print lines and poor centring, which makes clean copies awkward to find.
