07Why Collectors Want It

  • Legendary Collection (2002) introduced reverse-holo cards to the Pokémon TCG; its reverses are prized vintage chases.
  • The reverse foil drives the ~$80 value over the standard #43.
  • High-grade LC reverses are scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Golduck with 70 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 Gem Mint realizes ~$579 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Low Gem-Mint population — LC reverse foil chips easily.

Other graders: PSA dominates the graded population.
