07Why Collectors Want It

Released in 1999's Jungle, the WotC era's second main set and the launching pad for the original 151's non-Base-Set Pokémon.
The 1st Edition holo is the headline-chase parallel; the Unlimited print remains widely available and historically significant.
1st Edition raw asking sits around $35; clean centering trades well above and grades into the hundreds.
A vintage Nidoqueen-line cornerstone and one of the iconic Jungle holos in the WotC era.

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.
