Chansey Holo Rare — Base Set 3/102 (1999) (Holographic (Holo))

Ungraded, near-mint condition — Base Set Chansey (3/102), English holo rare illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Card shows bright colors, a still-shiny holographic field and intact original gloss. Corners and edges are generally clean for an ungraded 1999 card, with only light surface scratches visible across the holo and a very small edge-nibble at the top edge (visible in close-up photos). Back shows normal play-surface wear but no major creases or bends.

This is the classic 1999 Base Set printing (card number 3/102) featuring Chansey with 120 HP, the Scrunch and Double‑edge attacks, and the original holo star. Artist credit: Ken Sugimori — an iconic illustration from the first English Base Set. The card is a foil/holographic rare and retains the original holo pattern typical of first-era Wizards of the Coast releases.

Collector/market notes: not commonly used in modern competitive play, but highly sought after for nostalgia and Base Set completeness. Value drivers here are the classic artwork, holo finish, and eye appeal for display or a vintage Base Set collection. Because this is ungraded, the card is offered as near‑mint (light micro-surface marks under strong light and minimal edge wear); it would be a good candidate for professional grading if perfect centering and surface hold up to inspection.

Visible specifics: holo shows light scratches/reflections across the art area (photo-documentated), inner image and text remain sharp, and the white/yellow border displays slight whitening at a couple corner/edge points. No major creases or bends detected in provided photos.
