07Why Collectors Want It

Expedition #1 crosshatch holo — verified ~$200 raw, with PSA 10 copies ~$2,700.
Card #1 of the e-Card-era Expedition set; crosshatch holos are highly condition-sensitive.
A strong mid-high Alakazam alongside the Base Set and Skyridge holos.
Required for an Expedition or Alakazam master set.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Niche

Stage 2 Alakazam with 100 HP; top attack near 80 damage — playable in casual or rogue lists, not a competitive staple.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Psymimic

Once during your turn, instead of Alakazam's normal attack, you may choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon's attacks. Alakazam copies that attack including its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack, such as discarding Energy cards. (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Alakazam's type is still Psychic.) This power can't be used if Alakazam is affected by a Special Condition.

Syncroblast Cost: Psychic + Colorless + Colorless · 80 damage

If Alakazam and the Defending Pokémon don't have the same number of Energy cards attached to them, this attack's base damage is 20 instead of 80.

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$2,700 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Expedition crosshatch holos chip and scratch easily; PSA 10s are scarce and carry a premium over raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS also grade e-Card holos; PSA leads on liquidity.
