5 facts about this card
Blastoise’s collector appeal starts with its Gen 1 legacy, because it was the fully evolved Water starter from Pokémon Red and Blue and the mascot on the Pokémon Blue box art.
This reverse holo comes from Expedition Base Set, the first main Pokémon e-Card expansion, a landmark release that added e-Reader dot codes and a radically redesigned card frame to the TCG.
Expedition is especially memorable to collectors because every booster pack included a Reverse Holofoil card, and the set’s reverse pattern switched to the sleek refractor-style finish that gives cards like Blastoise #37 their signature e-Series look.
The artwork was illustrated by Kimiya Masago, a Japanese freelance illustrator and emaki artist whose dramatic, painterly style gives Expedition Blastoise a heavier, more mythic presence than many earlier Blastoise cards.
Blastoise had special weight in TCG history even before Expedition, as Wizards of the Coast used a Blastoise card as an early proof of concept for the English Pokémon TCG—helping cement the species as one of the hobby’s foundational icons.
