07Why Collectors Want It
- Expedition Base Set (2002) holos are notorious for poor gem rates due to fragile foil surfaces and centering issues.
- Weezing's twin-head artwork on the e-Card foil pattern is one of the era's most distinctive Poison-type prints.
- PSA 10 figures (~$1,785) reflect a ~35× lift over raw — clean gem copies are scarce.
- Pairs naturally with the Koffing Expedition #114 reverse for an evolution-line pickup.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Weezing PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.
Expedition Base Set 2002 holo; PSA 10 supply thin due to fragile e-Card foil. Realized PSA 10 ~$1,785 (PriceCharting, May 2026), ~35× raw.
Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
