This 1999 Pokémon Base Set Blastoise features the iconic Shadowless variant, a favorite among collectors for its clean, early-production aesthetic. Falling between the 1st Edition and Unlimited printings, Shadowless cards are distinguished by the lack of a drop shadow behind the art frame and the use of a thinner font for the HP value. As card #2/102 in the original set, this Stage 2 powerhouse was a meta-defining piece in the early TCG scene due to its 'Rain Dance' Pokémon Power, which allowed for rapid energy acceleration. This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori and has been graded a PSA 6 (EX-MT), with a population of 1,271 in this grade. It represents a significant era of the franchise's launch in the West, offering a version of one of the original 'Big Three' starters that is notably distinct from the mass-produced Unlimited versions that followed.Show more
