Description
A vintage 1st Edition Exeggutor from the 1999 Pokémon Jungle expansion. This 'Stage 1' Grass-type card features artwork by Kagemaru Himeno. As a 1st Edition printing, it features the 'Edition 1' stamp on the left side, indicating it was part of the very first production run of the set.
Key Features
1st Edition Stamp; Jungle set symbol (flower); highly sought-after Wizards of the Coast era nostalgia; uncommon rarity with moderate competitive play history.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct font kerning for '80 HP'; the 1st Edition stamp is opaque and correctly placed; the '©1999 Wizards' text is present; green saturation of the background matches authentic Jungle prints.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on the back edges (implied by front corner wear); surface scratches in the art box; dark spots/dirt on the yellow bottom border. These flaws prevent it from being a 'Professional Grading' candidate.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching global collectors), TCGPlayer (highest volume for card gamers), or Mercari (good for quick sales).
Selling Tips
Take clear photos of the back of the card on a dark surface to show edge wear clearly. Use keywords '1st Edition', 'WotC', '1999', and 'Vintage'. Ship inside a plastic penny sleeve and a rigid top-loader to prevent bending.
