Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA, this 1999 Pokémon Base Set 1st Edition Holo Blastoise #2 stands as an investment-grade TCG asset and a cornerstone piece for any high-end vintage collection. PSA records reflect a total population of 101 copies graded Gem Mint 10. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the card features the authentic 1st Edition stamp alongside the shadowless art frame and border construction unique to the inaugural Wizards of the Coast English print run.
As card #2 within the original 102-card Base Set, Blastoise represents one of the three foundational Stage-2 starters that established the franchise's trading card history in North America. The card showcases the classic "Rain Dance" Pokémon Power and "Hydro Pump" attack text that anchored competitive water-type decks during the 1999 launch era. Given the extreme condition sensitivity of 1990s holographic foils to factory print lines and edge wear, a GEM MT 10 designation places this copy at the absolute ceiling of surviving Base Set examples.Show more
