07Why Collectors Want It
- A reverse-holo Sandshrew from Skyridge (2003); the reverse parallel is the value driver, not the common base.
- Verified at ~$90 raw (PriceCharting, May 2026); the reverse parallel is the value driver.
- Reverse-holos of commons have tiny high-grade populations, fueling the premium.
- Reverse-holo surfaces scratch easily, so gem-mint copies are rare.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Basic Sandshrew with 40 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Double Scratch
Flip 2 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads.
Dig Under
Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage to that Pokémon. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance. (Any other effects that would happen after applying Weakness and Resistance still happen.)

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Reverse-holo verified ~$90 raw (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
Reverse-holo surfaces scratch and whiten readily, and few were graded, so the gem-mint population is small.
Other graders: PSA leads resale on reverse-holo sleepers; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
