## How to identify each version

- **1st Edition Shadowless**: Black 1st Edition stamp to the lower left of the art box and no drop shadow to the right of the artwork frame.
- **Shadowless**: No 1st Edition stamp and no drop shadow to the right of the artwork frame.
- **Unlimited**: No 1st Edition stamp and a visible drop shadow to the right of the artwork frame.

**Identity note:** The seed identity is broadly correct. Use first-edition-shadowless when recording 1st Edition English Base Set sales.

## Why this card matters

Blastoise is one of the anchor holo cards from the first English Pokemon TCG Base Set, and PSA tracks the 1st Edition Blastoise-Holo as a separate 1999 Pokemon Game issue. The opened sale evidence includes a 2026 Goldin-reported Logan Paul Break PSA 10 result and several PSA Auction Prices Realized entries for recent lower and mid-grade sales. Those records support the importance of exact grade and provenance, not a general value for every Base Set Blastoise.

## Identifying the exact version

Confirm the card as English Base Set Blastoise 2/102 before looking at price. The 1st Edition version has both the 1st Edition stamp and the shadowless frame; the Shadowless variant lacks the stamp but also lacks the right-side art-box shadow; Unlimited has the right-side shadow. Do not mix the commissioned Blastoise presentation test card, Base Set 2, Celebrations Classic Collection, or Japanese copies into this record.

## What moves the price between versions and grades

For Blastoise, price evidence changes sharply by printing, grade, and venue. PSA CardFacts showed 101 PSA 10 examples and larger counts in PSA 9 and PSA 8 as accessed for this research, while the 2026 Goldin-reported sale involved a PSA 10 with Logan Paul box-break provenance. A plain raw Unlimited card, a PSA 8 1st Edition, and a PSA 10 provenance copy are not interchangeable comps.

## Authenticity checks

Compare against official references; use multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For raw cards, compare the stamp, shadow, holo area, text, border, copyright line, back color, size, and edge finish to known authentic examples. For slabs, match cert number, card title, grade, and photos to the seller's item, then inspect for label or holder inconsistencies because a database match alone does not authenticate the object.

## Common misconceptions

- **Myth:** A Blastoise Base Set sale applies to the commissioned Blastoise test card. **What the evidence says:** Those are different objects with different origins, categories, and markets; CardVolume must keep exact identities separate.
- **Myth:** A PSA 10 population count is a print run. **What the evidence says:** Population is a grader's count of graded examples or events, not the number printed or the number surviving.
- **Myth:** One six-figure PSA 10 sale means all Base Set Blastoise cards are six-figure cards. **What the evidence says:** Chapter 03 requires comparable sold records by exact version and grade; lower grades and Unlimited copies require their own comps.
