Description
PSA Graded Card – Certification #51495512 – Grade: EX 5
The card features Blastoise, a Water-type Stage 2 Pokémon, evolving from Wartortle. The artwork by Ken Sugimori is showcased in a rectangular box with a holofoil background, which gives the card a shimmering rainbow effect when tilted. The card uses a blue and yellow border classic to the early English-language Pokémon cards. The background behind Blastoise has a deep green and blue water pattern, while the rest of the card is organized with attack info and flavor text. Card number is 2/102 from the original 1999 Base Set. The card is graded EX 5 by PSA, indicating moderate edge wear and minor surface issues, but no major creases or tears. The card displays both the ‘Pokémon Power: Rain Dance’ and ‘Hydro Pump’ attacks. This Base Set Blastoise holo is historically significant as one of the original ‘Big Three’ hits from the set, highly sought after by collectors. The copyright line references ©1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK, and ©1999 Wizards (the US publisher). There are no set-specific unique identifiers aside from the set number and no shadowless or 1st edition stamp, so this is the Unlimited Edition. The card’s value, nostalgia, and iconic status distinguish it from modern Blastoise releases.
