Its binder neighbours are Alakazam (#1) and Chansey (#3). Blastoise is one of 16 cards printed with a holofoil panel in this set. 2 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 100. By checklist position it is 2 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder.
Which printing you are holding
Base Set shipped in three waves, so "Blastoise" names three separate market objects. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. So Blastoise will be priced three times over, not once: a blended median across the three would be a figure nobody paid.
