The Dark Blastoise 3/82 in context
Why collectors care
Dark Blastoise from Team Rocket (2000) is a nostalgic WOTC-era holo, part of the popular "Dark" Rocket-era subset that reimagined the Kanto starters with a villainous twist.
How to identify it
Number 3/82 from Team Rocket. Comes in Unlimited and 1st Edition (the "Edition 1" stamp is the tell), and a non-holo version exists, so confirm holo status and edition.
Common mistakes
Match holo versus non-holo and edition carefully; the premium differs.
Grade considerations
The darker Team Rocket border shows whitening, and holo scratches and centering limit grades. High-grade 1st Edition holo copies are the scarce, premium tier.
