07Why Collectors Want It
- Legendary Collection reverse holos were the set's quiet secret — short-printed and hard to find centered.
- Hypno is a non-holo Rare in this set, so even the base print has eye appeal; the reverse parallel takes it up a tier.
- PSA 10 figures (~$725) reflect both rarity and the LC reverse pattern's edge-whitening tendencies.
- Vintage WotC reverse-holo with the distinctive 'starry' background — visually unmistakable next to modern reverse patterns.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Stage 1 Hypno with 90 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities

Dark Mind
If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Hypno PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.
Vintage WotC reverse-holo from Legendary Collection (2002); PSA 10 supply is tight due to the starry-foil pattern's whitening tendencies on edges. Realized PSA 10 sales ~$725 (PriceCharting, May 2026), roughly 7-8× raw.
Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
