Blastoise 2/102

This is Blastoise from Celebrations, the English set released to mark 25 years of Pokemon. The 2/102 number is a deliberate nod to the original Base Set, where Blastoise famously held the same slot, making this a faithful tribute to one of the most iconic cards in the hobby's history.

Celebrations brought back a selection of classic cards in a special anniversary collection, reproducing beloved designs with a fresh finish. Blastoise has been a cornerstone of Pokemon since the very start as one of the original Kanto starters, so its inclusion was a natural highlight of the set. Cards that revisit Base Set classics carry a strong sense of nostalgia, which is a big part of their appeal.

For collectors who grew up with the early game, or anyone marking the 25th anniversary, this Blastoise is a meaningful piece. It connects the modern era back to where it all began, and it remains one of the more recognisable cards in the Celebrations line up.
