Base Set - Card #42 - Wartortle - Graded Mint 9
$150.00
Own a definitive piece of Pokémon history with this Shadowless Wartortle from the original 1999 Base Set. The "Shadowless" print run is a highly coveted transition between the 1st Edition and the standard "Unlimited" release, distinguished by the absence of the drop shadow on the right side of the character art box and thinner HP text.
This vintage classic has been professionally authenticated and graded Mint 9 by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator), confirming its exceptional preservation and high-tier collector status.
