This is the Italian 1st Edition Base Set Venusaur Holo (#15), printed in 2000 by Wizards of the Coast, a notoriously challenging issue to locate in truly high grade due to centering sensitivity and holo surface exposure typical of vintage production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessionally authenticated and encapsulated by Beckett Grading Services as BGS 9.5 GEM MINT, this example stands among the most desirable surviving copies, pairing exceptional eye appeal with elite technical quality: Centering 9.5, Corners 9.5, Edges 9.5, and Surface 9.0. The result is a museum-grade display piece that speaks both to cultural significance—featuring Mitsuhiro Arita’s iconic artwork—and to investment-aware collecting, as demand continues to deepen for certified, high-grade WOTC Italian 1st Editions where population at the top end is meaningfully scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collecto Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53876104495444,"sku":"2210","price":6050.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9083\/7588\/files\/file-1757347718127-whatsapp20image202025-09-0720at2020.38.00.jpg?v=1772719692","url":"https:\/\/collectoarchive.com\/products\/pokemon-venusaur-no-15-holo-italian-base-set-1st-edition","provider":"Collecto Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
