Fossil Set - Card #54 - Shellder - Graded 9 Mint
$55.00
Capture a piece of Pokémon history with this pristine 1st Edition Shellder from the legendary 1999 Fossil expansion. As the third expansion set released by Wizards of the Coast (WotC), Fossil completed the original 151 Pokémon lineup, making 1st Edition copies like this one essential cornerstones for vintage collectors.
This card features the iconic "1st Edition" stamp, signifying its place in the very first print run of the set. Professionally graded Mint 9 by PSA, this specimen exhibits the exceptional color preservation and clean borders that collectors look for in high-grade WotC-era cards. It represents a time when the TCG was first taking the world by storm.

- Graded Stability: PSA 9 copies of vintage commons are highly valued by "Set Registry" collectors who aim to complete entire 1st Edition sets in high-grade condition.
