07Why Collectors Want It
- A reverse-holo of a base common from 2002's Legendary Collection — the WotC-era set famous for turning sub-$2 commons into PSA 10 grading-flip chases.
- Raw reverse-holo ~$108 vs. PSA 10 ~$1,430 — a ~13× grading multiple, putting it in sleeper-chase territory for Pidgey collectors.
- Legendary Collection mirror-foil surfaces scratch easily and centering downgrades are common, so gem-mint copies require legitimately clean pulls.
- A natural pickup for any vintage Pidgeot-line collector and one of the more reliable LC reverse-holo grading flips.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Basic Pidgey with 40 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Whirlwind
Your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon, if any. (Do the damage before switching the Pokémon.)

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$1,430 against ~$108 raw — roughly 13x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
Legendary Collection reverse-holo surfaces scratch and whiten readily, so high-grade copies are scarce.
Other graders: PSA leads resale on LC reverse-holos; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
