# Potion (Japanese) #24 — Intro Pack (Squirtle)

## Summary

Potion on this Japanese Intro Pack (Squirtle) card is a simple tableau: a mint-and-lavender spray bottle with a Poke Ball mark, set against a dark panel of green and teal stripes, inside the plain gray Trainer frame of the original era. The Japanese edition dates to July 1999, while the English Potion in Base Set 2 followed in February 2000. As a common healing staple, it is bulk, but early Japanese pack cards carry quiet nostalgia. A $0.79 sold median says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $110 against $45 in grading fees.
