07Why Collectors Want It
- An e-Card-era holo from Expedition (2002), numbered 23/165.
- Verified at ~$125 raw, PSA 10 ~$1,599 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — roughly a 13x gem-mint multiple.
- Expedition holos are notoriously hard to find well-centered, so high grades are scarce.
- A recognized e-Card-era sleeper among Pidgeot and Johto-era collectors.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Stage 2 Pidgeot with 80 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Beating Wings
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Pidgeot is your Active Pokémon, you may shuffle 1 of your Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck. This power can't be used if Pidgeot is affected by a Special Condition.
Sharp Beak
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 30 more damage.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$1,599 against ~$125 raw — roughly 13x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
Expedition holo foil shows hairlines and the print runs off-center, so gem-mint copies are genuinely scarce.
Other graders: PSA leads resale on e-Card holos; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
