The Blastoise 4/165 in context
Why collectors care
Expedition Blastoise is the second member of the set's Kanto starter trio and a natural target for collectors who want the e-Reader interpretation of the original powerhouse starters.
How to identify it
Expedition Base Set 4/165, Blastoise. Confirm the regular numbered holo rather than a reverse holo, and compare the 4/165 number with the card image before accepting a slab label or seller shorthand.
Common mistakes
A reverse-holo Blastoise can be mistaken for the numbered holo when photographed under glare. The foil should be visible in the art area, not only around the card text.
Grade considerations
Blue foil areas reveal scratches and roller lines. Centering, lower-edge whitening and small dents in the e-Reader strip are the grade limiters to inspect first.
