Squirtle 68/82 Team Rocket (TR) PSA 9
Squirtle #68/82 — 2000 Pokémon Team Rocket — PSA 9 Mint
Squirtle is one of the original three starter Pokémon and among the most universally collected characters in the hobby. This copy lives in the Team Rocket expansion — one of the most storied Wizards of the Coast sets ever printed. Released in 2000, Team Rocket set itself apart from every set before it by introducing Dark Pokémon, reimagining classic characters with unique mechanics, darker artwork themes, and a distinct brown-and-black card aesthetic that collectors still chase today. Squirtle's presence in this set — illustrated by the legendary Atsuko Nishida — makes it a natural companion piece to the set's headliners: Dark Blastoise, Dark Charizard, and Dark Alakazam.
