The 1996 Japanese Base Set Blastoise #9 stands as one of the foundational holofoil cards from the birth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the artwork displays the final Water-type starter evolution against Japan's original holofoil finish and features the vintage Pocket Monsters card back layout. Graded CGC 7 Near Mint, the slab reflects a CGC population count of 128 copies at this grade. Issued within Japan's inaugural 1996 Expansion Pack, early Base Set holos like Blastoise carry historical context as the original physical release that launched the worldwide franchise.Show more
