07Why Collectors Want It
- Released in 2000's Base Set 2, the WotC-era reprint set that combined Base Set and Jungle cards in a more widely-distributed product.
- Holo raw ~$19 vs. PSA 10 ~$760 — a ~40× grading multiple, one of the bigger lifts on a Base-Set-2 holo and a serious sleeper-chase entry.
- Base Set 2 holo printing makes centering and edge wear the usual downgrades; clean pulls out-of-pack are rarer than the print run suggests.
- A natural pickup for any WotC-era Pidgeot-line collection and one of the more efficient grading flips on the line.
08Competitive Playability

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Pidgeot 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.
