This 1999 Pokémon Base Set 1st Edition Chansey (#3/102) holofoil is graded BGS 9 Mint by Beckett Grading Services, backed by subgrades of Centering 9, Corners 9, Edges 9, and Surface 8.5. Featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori, the card displays the distinct 1st Edition "Thick Stamp" variant positioned to the lower left of the art window. Beckett population records report 21 copies at this grade. Released by Wizards of the Coast in early 1999, the Base Set represents the original English launch of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Chansey is one of 16 holofoil rares included in the 102-card set and holds historical significance within gameplay for its 120 HP total—the highest hit point stat printed during the Base Set era. The "Thick Stamp" designation marks the earliest production run of the 1st Edition printing before subtle stamp font adjustments were made later in the production sequence.Show more
