The Blaine's Moltres 1/132 in context
Why collectors care
Blaine's Moltres opens the Gym Heroes holo run and is one of the more demanded cards in the set, combining a legendary bird with the Gym-era conceit of attaching cards to specific Gym Leaders.
How to identify it
Number 1/132 from Gym Heroes (2000). Gym-era cards carry the Gym Leader's name as part of the card name, which is what separates them from the standard versions of the same Pokemon.
Common mistakes
Confusing Gym Heroes with Gym Challenge -- the two sets share the 132-card total and similar naming, so the set symbol is essential. Blaine also appears in Gym Challenge with different cards.
Grade considerations
Centering and holo scratching set the grade. Gym-era cards are less commonly submitted than Base Set, so population data is thinner and high grades can be genuinely scarce.
No graded sold listings in the last 90 days. Check the Raw tab for ungraded sales.
