Which One Do You Have? Identifying a Base Set 2 (2000) Card
Base Set 2 is a reprint set, not a new expansion: it collects cards from the original Base Set and from Jungle into one 130-card checklist. It has no 1st Edition printing and no Shadowless printing — it was a single unlimited run, which makes identification simple compared with the original Base Set.
- Set symbol: Base Set 2 cards carry a 2-ball set symbol in the lower-right of the art box. Base Set cards have no symbol.
- Copyright line: Base Set 2 reads ©1995-2000. The original Base Set unlimited reads ©1995, 96, 98.
- No stamp exists: a Base Set 2 card can never carry an Edition 1 stamp — if it does, the stamp was added.
Because the artwork is recycled from the 1999 sets, Base Set 2 cards are routinely mistaken for Base Set pulls. The set symbol is the only reliable tell.
Is It Even Real? The Short Answer
Older-set cards below the holo tier are very rarely counterfeited, so authentication is mostly about condition rather than forgery. The one thing worth checking is that the card is the printing it claims: 1st Edition stamps are the single most commonly added mark, and the set symbol is the tell that a card comes from the set you think it does.
The wider verification method is in How to Spot a Fake Pokémon Card.
Print History & Where This Card Came From
Base Set 2 (2000) Bulbasaur 67/130, on the Unlimited version. Base Set 2 is a reprint set, not a new expansion: it collects cards from the original Base Set and from Jungle into one 130-card checklist. It has no 1st Edition printing and no Shadowless printing — it was a single unlimited run, which makes identification simple compared with the original Base Set.
This set has no 1st Edition printing, so there is no stamped/unstamped split to price against. What separates copies here is condition and, where a reverse holo exists, the finish.
Pop Report Forensics
PriceCharting’s census records roughly 1,038 PSA-graded copies of this card, of which about 202 sit at PSA 10. It also carries a CGC count. PSA’s census is the deeper of the two — PSA graded far more of the vintage era than any other company, and the gap between graders is a market fact rather than a data problem.
Two census caveats are core to reading these numbers honestly. Graded counts are submission tallies, not unique cards — crack-and-regrade resubmissions inflate the total, so the number of distinct gem copies is lower. And the census is a floor, not a final figure: it grows with every submission wave.
Errors & Oddities: The Honest Answer
No repeating, community-verified error card is documented for this card in its set. It does not appear in the repeating-errors section of the Elite Fourum Master Misprint Guide.
Press hickeys, misfeeds, off-cuts and pack-crimp cards escaped quality control in every era, so one-off curiosities exist. They carry value when the misprint community verifies repeats; a single copy usually does not. Marketplace listings that call an ordinary card an “error” are far more often damage or a misattributed print variant.
The Grade Ladder for This Card
Where this card’s own grades sit, on PriceCharting sold-comp data (September 2026) — and, where a reverse holo of the identical card exists, how the two finishes compare:
| Grade | Market Price | What It Means | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ungraded (raw) | $2.44 | — | The risk grade — condition unpriced in |
| PSA 7 | $15.12 | — | Collector grade |
| PSA 8 | $25.08 | — | The liquidity anchor — where most copies trade |
| PSA 9 | $28.14 | — | Elite tier |
| PSA 10 | $206.25 | — | Gem Mint — the top of the ladder |
Comps move weekly — verify current sold prices before any transaction, and remember raw vintage cards carry maximum counterfeit risk.
The Artist
Bulbasaur was illustrated by multiple artists across the vintage era, and this printing is one of them. Artist attribution is printed in the lower-left of the card art on every vintage card — read it off the card itself rather than trusting a listing.
Caleb's Collector Verdict
If your copy turns out to be a different printing than you assumed, that is worth knowing before you buy or sell — see should you grade Pokémon cards? for when the fee math actually works.
