Collector’s notes
Base Set’s holographic Blastoise completes the Squirtle evolution line. Its classic framed artwork sits naturally beside Charizard and Venusaur.
- Before you collect
- Check the edition stamp and artwork-frame shadow, then compare the same printing and condition. Foil scratches can be easy to miss in a straight-on photo.
- A collection idea
- Add Squirtle and Wartortle from this Vault for a three-card evolution display.

About the copy you buy
