Graded NM 7 by PSA. This 1996 Japanese Pokémon Basic Holo Blastoise #9 features classic artwork credited to Ken Sugimori and hails from the inaugural release of the Japanese Pokémon Trading Card Game. Defined by the absence of a rarity symbol in the bottom-right corner, this card originates from the set's earliest print run. According to PSA population report data, 111 copies have earned this PSA 7 grade.
Distributed by Media Factory in October 1996, No Rarity Symbol cards represent the true first print state of the Japanese Base Set before rarity symbols were standardized on subsequent printings. As the final evolution of Squirtle, Blastoise anchors the set's holographic lineup alongside Charizard and Venusaur, featuring its printed "Rain Dance" Pokémon Power and "Hydro Pump" attack.Show more
