Squirtle #16 Japanese Squirtle Deck FAQ
Is this a Base Set Squirtle?
No. It is a separate Japanese printing from a 1999 starter deck, with its own artwork, number and PSA population. Base Set and Base Set 2 Squirtle prices do not apply.
Is the artwork the same as other Squirtle cards?
No. This card has its own apple-tree illustration. Check the number, #16 on the PSA label, and the deck name, Squirtle Deck, when you compare sold prices.
What decides a PSA 10 on a deck card?
Centering and edges first, then surface. Starter-deck cards were handled and shuffled, so a PSA 10 copy is a statement about storage as much as the print. The photos show the yellow borders, where edge wear shows first.
Is the PSA 10 the top of the population?
It is the highest grade PSA assigns, and the cert reports zero cards graded higher. How many other 10s exist is not shown in public sources we can cite, so confirm current counts at psacard.com/pop before comparing prices.
How do I verify this slab?
Enter cert number 77470557 at psacard.com/cert and match the card name, deck, number and grade to the label and photos. Then inspect the case for cracks, scuffs or any sign of tampering.
