This 1999 Pokémon Base Set Holo Blastoise #2 is graded Gem Mint 10 by PSA. Representing one of the most significant cards from the historic Western debut of the franchise, finding an original unlimited Base Set holographic card in this condition is a challenge due to the era's susceptibility to print lines, edge silvering, and surface scratching. Out of thousands of submissions, the PSA population for this card at Gem Mint 10 stands at 382, indicating how few examples have survived in flawless preservation.
Featuring the definitive original artwork by Ken Sugimori, Blastoise is one of the "Big Three" final-stage evolutionary starters that anchored the original 102-card checklist. In addition to its cultural status, the card was a cornerstone of early competitive play, defined by its powerful "Rain Dance" Pokémon Power which allowed players to attach unlimited Water Energy cards per turn to flood the board with resources. It remains a foundational piece of TCG history.Show more
