Why this card matters
pop
769 total PSA pop is modest for a 2002 holo; only 19 PSA 10s exist — tight gem supply. But 165-card set with 23yr availability keeps raw supply from being truly scarce.
demand
Butterfree is a Gen 1 fan favourite with anime nostalgia, but not Charizard/Pikachu tier. Expedition is a collector niche — pulls enthusiasts, not mass market.
artist
Mitsuhiro Arita's lush, painterly holo captures Butterfree mid-flight with rich background depth. E-Card holos have distinctive finish appeal that ages well with collectors.
catalyst
30d momentum is flat at 0%. No tournament, media, or set release event driving urgency. PSA 10 comp at $48K is real but a single data point — fragile price anchor.
