# Dark Blastoise (Japanese) #044 — Pokemon Web

## Summary

October 2001 brought Dark Blastoise to Japanese collectors in the Pokemon Web set, one of the e-Card era's sets that had no English counterpart at all. The full-holo foil gives the card a yellow-gold border with a starburst behind Blastoise, which stands braced with both shoulder cannons raised. As a holo rare, it was a proper pull rather than filler, and Team Rocket's twisted Water starter keeps fans interested. The sold median sits at $800 with 2 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $3,626 and a 60% observed gem rate putting about $1,100 of expected profit per submission.
