# Archeops (Japanese) #040 — BW2: Red Collection

## Summary

Archeops sits in the uncommon tier of Japanese BW2: Red Collection, a mid-weight slot that makes it a comfortable pickup rather than a chase. The image shows the fossil bird mid-flap in yellow, blue and red feathers, framed by palm trees and a bright sky. Released in Japan in July 2011, it beat Noble Victories, which carries the English Archeops, by about four months. The modelled guide sits at $3.99 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
