Product Description
This Blastoise card is from the first English Base Set of Pokémon Trading Cards released by Wizards of the Coast in 1999. As card #2/102, it represents one of the original starter Pokémon evolutions and was considered one of the most powerful and sought-after cards in the early game due to its "Rain Dance" ability that allowed players to attach unlimited Water Energy cards.
Pokémon Base Set cards, especially holographic cards like this Blastoise, have become highly valued collectibles in the trading card community. Collectors and nostalgic fans of the original Pokémon games and anime series particularly prize these early cards for their historical significance in the Pokémon franchise and the trading card game hobby. The value varies dramatically based on condition, with mint condition cards commanding premium prices.
