Pokémon Trader #77 — Base Set

Pokémon Trader sits between Pokémon Breeder and Scoop Up in binder order. The fetched record gives it as a Rare Trainer card, drawn by Ken Sugimori.

Pokémon Trader was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 77 of 102, which puts it in the last third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Pokémon Breeder (#76) and Scoop Up (#78). The record carries no HP for it — Trainer cards do not print one.

Which printing you are holding

Pokémon Trader 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. Priced, Pokémon Trader would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
