07Why Collectors Want It

The non-holo Rare variant of Nidoqueen in 1999's Jungle, paired with the #7 holo print of the same Pokémon.
Raw asking sits around $17; the 1st Edition Rare trades meaningfully above the Unlimited print and pairs naturally with the holo #7.
Jungle non-holo centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades; clean copies grade into the hundreds.
A natural pickup for any complete WotC-era Nidoqueen-line or Jungle master-set run.

10Grading and Population

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

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

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