Grimer 1st ed 48/62 PSA 10

Grimer 48/62 — 1999 Fossil 1st Edition PSA 10

Not every vintage card needs to be a holographic chase to carry serious personality, and this 1st Edition Grimer from the 1999 Fossil set proves it.

Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the artwork places Grimer exactly where the Sludge Pokémon belongs—inside a dark industrial area surrounded by barrels, pipes, and polluted waste beneath an oversized moon. The deep purple nighttime setting, classic yellow border, and Grimer’s vacant expression capture the unmistakable charm of early Wizards-era Pokémon cards.

The 1st Edition stamp marks this card as part of the original English Fossil release, adding another layer of vintage appeal. Its simple attacks, Nasty Goo and Minimize, along with the original Generation I layout, make it a perfect example of the straightforward designs collectors remember from Pokémon’s earliest years.

Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, this copy received PSA’s highest grade—an impressive result for a card printed in 1999. It is an excellent addition for collectors of vintage Pokémon, 1st Edition Fossil cards, Mitsuhiro Arita artwork, Generation I Pokémon, or Gem Mint copies of overlooked classics.

Please note: The slab shown is a stock photo for reference because PSA did not capture images of this copy during grading. You will receive an authentic 1999 Fossil 1st Edition Grimer 48/62 graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, but the certification number will differ from the example shown.
