07Why Collectors Want It
- Original WotC-era printing from the Base Set set — foundational vintage Clefairy.
- The Fairy Pokemon and pre-evolution of Clefable — its 1999 Base Set holo is a classic WotC chase card.
- Required for any complete Clefairy master set across eras.
- Collectors of the Base Set set need this card to finish it.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
— Clefairy with 10 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Clefairy 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.
