Kabutops (6) - Neo Discovery (N2) PSA 7

Kabutops (6/75) — Pokémon Neo Discovery (N2) — PSA 9 Mint

One of the most visually commanding holos in the entire WotC era, the Kabutops Neo Discovery Holo lands at card #6 in a tight 75-card set — sitting comfortably inside the first 17 holographic singles that anchor the checklist. Illustrated by Kimiya Masago, this Water-type Stage 2 hits 90 HP and dishes up to 120 damage with Hydrocutter, and the foil treatment on 2001 WotC-era cards is simply different — deep, prismatic, and untouched in that iconic yellow-bordered Neo frame.

• The set: Neo Discovery released June 1, 2001 under Wizards of the Coast — one of the last major TCG expansions WotC would ever produce. A compact 75-card issue where Kabutops stands among the acknowledged iconic holos alongside Umbreon, Espeon, Tyranitar, and Scizor.
• The grade: PSA 9 Mint. Unlimiteds in this set are notoriously plagued by blue-border chipping and centering issues — a clean 9 on this card is a genuinely strong result and represents the sweet spot of grade value versus population scarcity.
• Market: PSA 9 examples of the Neo Discovery Kabutops holo trade in the $100–$185 range on recent comps, with a confirmed eBay auction closing at $106 in April 2025 and market indexes placing PSA 9 value around $185.

Vintage WotC holo collectors chasing a complete Neo Discovery set need this card — and a Mint 9 slab means it's protected, authenticated, and ready to anchor a binder or display shelf. With sealed Neo Discovery boxes increasingly scarce and demand for early-era Pokémon graded cards holding strong, this Kabutops PSA 9 is exactly the kind of cornerstone piece that quietly disappears from the market.
