07Why Collectors Want It
- From Legendary Collection (2002), the first set to feature reverse-holo cards — now one of vintage's most collected reverse runs.
- The reverse foil drives the price (~$76) while the standard #41 stays a common.
- Scarce in clean, high-grade condition, so it's a recurring want for Dodrio-line and LC master-set builders.

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