JAPANESE PIDGEOTTO CARD CHECKLIST

[10 CARDS] 1996 BASE SET TO 2023

Pidgeotto was a rare in the very first Japanese set in October 1996, and graded first prints with no rarity mark are scarce: a PSA 10 sold for $5,000 in 2025. It also had a movie-theater card in 2002 and, in 2023, the middle Art Rare of Jerky’s Pidgey-line story in Ruler of the Black Flame. These 10 are the ones worth finding. The 4 marked ★ are the ones to look for first: the 1996 no-rarity original, the 1998 Vending glossy, the 151 Master Ball mirror 017/165 and the Art Rare 119/108.
