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 ~$74 vs. PSA 10 ~$279 — a clean ~4× grading multiple; Legendary Collection mirror-foil surface scarcity drives the lift.
Mirror-foil surfaces scratch easily and centering downgrades are common; gem-mint copies require legitimately clean pulls.
A natural pickup for any vintage Beedrill-line collector, sitting alongside the Kakuna and Beedrill reverses from the same set.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Weedle with 40 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Poison Sting Cost: Grass · 10 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.

Weakness: Fire ×2
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Weedle 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.
