27 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 60. Its binder neighbours are Farfetch'd (#27) and Haunter (#29). Growlithe was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 28 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder.
Which printing you are holding
Which Growlithe you are holding is decided before grade is: the set ran in three printings. 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 Growlithe will be priced three times over, not once: a blended median across the three would be a figure nobody paid.
