07Why Collectors Want It

Fossil (1999) was the third WotC set — 1st Edition holos from Fossil are the second-tier 'must-have' vintage stamps after Base Set.
Hitmonlee is one of Fossil's signature Fighting-types; the kick artwork is a beloved early-era look.
PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$3,100 — a ~54× lift over raw 1st Ed, one of the largest grading multiples in the Hitmonlee catalog.
Centering and surface scratching keep PSA 10 supply tight; clean raw 1st Ed copies command a real premium.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Hitmonlee with 60 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Hitmonlee PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Fossil 1999 holo; 1st Edition stamp is the chase variant. PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$3,100 (PriceCharting, May 2026), ~54× raw 1st Edition.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
