About the Stantler card
Stantler is card 76 of 111 in Neo Genesis, released in December 2000, a Common. It is a Basic Colorless-type with 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Stantler needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Sugimori is the lead character designer of Pokémon itself, so his card art carries the tight, on-model look that defined how the creatures appear in the games.
The Pokédex entry printed on Stantler reads: "The curved antlers subtly change the flow of air to create a strange space where reality is distorted."
What is Stantler worth?
Stantler is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Neo Genesis produced 1st Edition, Unlimited prints. For Stantler, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Stantler is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Stantler
Raw copies of Stantler are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Stantler is the practical move.
