07Why Collectors Want It

An e-Card-era print from 2003's Skyridge — the final e-Card set, with notoriously short distribution and the era's signature ultra-thin sealed-product supply.
Raw reverse-holo ~$38 vs. PSA 10 ~$499 — a ~13× grading multiple; the non-holo base trades around $24 raw / $100 PSA 10.
Skyridge sealed product is some of the rarest in the entire WotC era, making any PSA 10 chase legitimately scarce.
A foundational entry for any vintage Beedrill-line collector and one of the more reliable e-Card grading flips.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Beedrill with 80 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Venom Spray

When you play Beedrill from your hand to evolve your Active Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned.

Needle Rush Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 10+ damage

Flip 4 coins. If you get 1 heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage. If you get 2 heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage. If you get 3 heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 50 more damage. If you get 4 heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 90 more damage.

Weakness: Fire ×2
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
