07Why Collectors Want It

  • Early-2000s Aquapolis printing with vintage collector appeal.
  • Final evolution of the Oddish line — its 1999 Jungle holo is a vintage chase.
  • Required for any complete Vileplume master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the Aquapolis set need this card to finish it.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
