The record carries no HP for it — Trainer cards do not print one. Its binder neighbours are Pokémon Flute (#86) and Professor Oak (#88). Pokédex was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 87 of 102, which puts it in the last third of the binder.

Which printing you are holding

Which Pokédex 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. Each printing of Pokédex therefore gets its own cell here, never one blended number.
