07Why Collectors Want It

  • Jungle (1999) was the second WotC set — its 1st Edition holos are scarce in gem condition.
  • Kangaskhan was Jungle's headline Normal-type holo, featured prominently in early Pokemon marketing.
  • PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$3,329 — a ~69× lift over raw 1st Edition, one of the largest grading multiples in the Kangaskhan catalog.
  • Unlimited 1999 print also commands a massive PSA 10 premium (~$3,200) — both vintage variants are real grail-tier chases.
  • Centering and edge whitening keep PSA 10 supply famously thin across all variants.

10Grading and Population

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

Jungle 1999 holo; 1st Edition stamp is the chase variant. PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$3,329 (PriceCharting, May 2026), ~69× raw 1st Ed. Unlimited PSA 10 ~$3,200 — both vintage variants command grail-tier premiums.

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