Collector’s notes
Base Set Wartortle is the middle evolution on a classic Squirtle binder page. Its value to a collection can simply be completing that story.
- Before you collect
- Match Base Set #42 and the edition. Use close photographs to judge corners and creases.
- A collection idea
- Place it between Squirtle and Blastoise, both already in this Vault.

About the copy you buy
This is a card reference, not a listing for an individual copy. The artwork does not establish condition or authenticity. Ask for clear front, back and angled surface photos.
Raw means professionally ungraded. For a graded card, match the grading company and grade, and check its certification record with that company before comparing prices.
