07Why Collectors Want It

Legendary Collection (2002) was the set that introduced reverse-holo "mirror foil" cards to the Pokémon TCG, and its reverses are now a prized vintage chase.
The reverse holo carries essentially all the value here: ~$87 versus about a dollar for the standard #60.
Notoriously hard to find well-centered and scratch-free, so clean copies are competed over by Rapidash-line and LC set collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Rapidash with 70 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Rapidash 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.
