07Why Collectors Want It
- A WotC-era holo from Neo Discovery (2001), numbered #11/75.
- 1st Edition copies carry the stamp vintage collectors prize.
- 1st Edition verified ~$82 raw, PSA 10 ~$20,000 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — roughly a 244x gem-mint multiple, one of the steepest on the site.
- WotC holo foil scratches and Neo-era centering runs tight, so gem-mint 1st Editions are exceptionally scarce.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Basic Smeargle with 50 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Sketch
If the Defending Pokémon attacked last turn, and Smeargle was in play during that attack, Smeargle copies that attack except for its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: 1st Edition PSA 10 ~$20,000 against ~$82 raw — roughly 244x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
WotC holo foil shows scratching and the Neo print runs off-center, so gem-mint 1st Editions are extremely scarce.
Other graders: PSA leads resale on WotC-era holos; BGS and CGC examples trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
