Base Set 4th Print - A population Report - UPDATE 30/04/2018

Hi everyone!

I believe in eFour everyone know about this Set, even though it is a still very obscure set to collect, I found it very rewarding, mainly due to the scarcity it carries. Due to that, and intrigue by how many are there exactly, I have been collecting the data regarding the PSA examples that pop up in the community/market, in the last couple of months. I have been using eBay, Instagram, Youtube and of course eFour.

As you probably know, PSA still does not recognize this Base Set variant and I hope one day it does. Until then I would like to collect the data as more detailed as possible.

The information I have (notice that I keep the serial numbers of each card in order to avoid duplicates) is shown in the table bellow:

TOTAL OF BASE 2000 PRINT GRADED CARDS IN THIS STUDY: 238
POKÉMON TOTAL GRADED PSA 9 PSA 10
ALAKAZAM 12 9 3
BLASTOISE 17 11 4
CHANSEY 10 7 3
CHARIZARD 32 13 4
CLEFAIRY 12 9 1
GYARADOS 18 12 6
HITMONCHAN 15 6 4
MACHAMP 16 12 2
MAGNETON 14 9 3
MEWTWO 15 8 5
NIDOKING 16 9 6
NINETALES 16 10 4
POLIWRATH 9 5 4
RAICHU 12 7 2
VENUSAUR 14 7 4
ZAPDOS 10 3 7
- - - -

In the Table I only show the quantities for the 9s and 10s… If you see that the “Total Graded” don’t add up to the 9s + 10s, that is because there are lower grades that have been graded.

NOTE: This informations is not the exact population of the cards. It has been gathered from public sales/listings and social media pictures, there might be more and of course there can be regrades that we cannot track.

Feel free to send me info if you have and I will gladly add up to this study.

Thanks!

I’m assuming you’ve seen my complete 9 and 10 sets on eBay. I need to check my files to see the remainder but I graded quite a few last year.

I got bunches but they are way down the line on my grading shelves. If I ever get to them I’ll let you know. By then though, there could be a thousand of each lol.
