Pokémon TCG Switch 95/102 Base Set Unlimited Edition
Wizards of the Coast (WotC) · Collectibles & Antiques > Trading Card Games > Pokémon
Era / Decade
1999 (Late 90s)
Material
Standard cardstock with high-gloss finish; specific blue-core paper stock used by WotC.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The front shows minor surface wear and edge whitening on the top-right corner. Centering appears slightly off-center left-to-right. No major creases or water damage visible.
Demand Level
Niche/Low. While the Base Set is iconic, this is a non-Holofoil common trainer card with millions of copies produced. It sells steadily to set-fillers but has low individual value.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
Low: $0.25 | Mid: $0.75 | High: $1.50
Estimated Retail Value
$4.00 (original pack price adjust for inflation/rarity)
Comparable Sales
Recent sold listings on TCGPlayer for 'Lightly Played' Unlimited Switch range from $0.15 to $0.85 plus shipping. PSA 10 gem mint copies can reach $20+, but this card's condition precludes that market.
Description
This is an original 'Switch' Trainer card from the 1999 Pokémon Base Set (Unlimited print). The card features the classic 3D-style art by Keiji Kinebuchi, showing a Magnemite and Kakuna being swapped. It is numbered 95/102 and is a common rarity trainer card. This card is an essential piece for collectors looking to complete their original 102-card set.
Key Features
Original 1999 Base Set icon; nostalgic art; high-quality Wizards of the Coast printing; easily shippable in a standard envelope.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct font spacing for 1999; proper copyright text layout (©1995, 96, 98 Nintendo... ©1999 Wizards); color saturation and dot pattern typical for authentic WotC prints. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Visible whitening/nicking on the rear edges (likely); light surface scratches on the yellow border; slight whitening on the top right edge. Not a candidate for high-grade professional grading (PSA/BGS).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for trading cards), TCGPlayer (highest target audience), or combined in a 'Base Set Common Lot' on Facebook Marketplace to save on shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not sell this individually unless you have a high-volume eBay store; shipping costs will exceed profit. Ideally, bundle this with other Base Set commons/uncommons to create a 'Starter Lot.' If shipping solo, use eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracked shipping.
