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.
The Spearow print here recycles the Jungle Spearow artwork in a higher-circulation reprint context — a more accessible entry point than the 1999 original.
Raw asking sits below $1; graded copies trade meaningfully above raw, with Base Set 2 centering and edges the usual downgrades.
A natural pickup for any WotC-era Fearow-line collection.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Spearow with 50 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Peck Cost: Colorless · 10 damage

Mirror Move Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless

If Spearow was attacked last turn, do the final result of that attack on Spearow to the Defending Pokémon.

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Resistance: Fighting -30
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Spearow 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.
