Ivysaur was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 30 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Haunter (#29) and Jynx (#31). 27 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 60.

Which printing you are holding

Ivysaur was printed three times over, and the three do not trade alike. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Each printing of Ivysaur therefore gets its own cell here, never one blended number.
