07Why Collectors Want It

Legendary Collection (2002) starry reverse holos are one of vintage Pokemon's most undervalued parallel categories.
Hitmonlee is a Rare (non-holo) base print; the reverse parallel is short-printed vs. the base.
PSA 10 figures (~$1,085) reflect a ~11× lift over raw — gem supply is thin due to LC starry-foil whitening.
Vintage WotC reverse-holo with the unmistakable starry foil pattern.

10Grading and Population

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

LC starry reverse-holo; PSA 10 supply tight. Realized PSA 10 ~$1,085 (PriceCharting, May 2026), ~11× raw.

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