07Why Collectors Want It

Early-2000s Southern Islands printing with vintage collector appeal.
Final stage of the Rattata → Raticate line — including the famous Dark Raticate of the Team Rocket era.
Southern Islands was distributed through limited organized-play channels — genuinely scarce supply.
Required for any complete Raticate master set across eras.
Collectors of the Southern Islands set need this card to finish it.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Raticate PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
