Jungle shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited prints with no Shadowless equivalent, and the value lives almost entirely in its 16 Rare Holos. There is one extra wrinkle that sets Jungle apart: the No Symbol error, an early print run that shipped without the set symbol in the corner of the art. No Symbol holos trade at a premium across the set. This ranks the holos by PSA 10, 1st Edition value, read as tiers.
A tournament staple in 1999 and one of the most-requested artworks of the Wizards era. Because Scyther saw heavy play, a high share of the print run was damaged, so PSA 10 1st Edition copies are among the harder Jungle tens to find. The No Symbol variant commands a stiff premium on top of that, and Scyther is a frequent target of counterfeits, so verify the holo and symbol position on any raw listing.
The most-collected of the three Jungle Eeveelutions. The Eevee evolutions carry cross-generation appeal that the rest of the set does not, and Vaporeon usually leads the trio. Clean copies are scarcer than the print run suggests because the blue holo body shows surface wear under angled light. A reliable hold with a broad buyer base.
The electric Eeveelution, and a close companion to Vaporeon in demand. Jolteon trades a half step behind Vaporeon for most of the market, with the same cross-generation Eevee following propping up its floor. Collectors chasing the Eeveelution run almost always want all three, which keeps each one liquid.
The fire Eeveelution completes the trio. Flareon tends to trade level with or just behind Jolteon, and the three Jungle Eeveelutions are usually collected and priced as a set. For a buyer assembling the run, Flareon is rarely the bottleneck, but a clean PSA 10 still carries the same Eevee premium as its siblings.
One of the most-loved non-starter holos of the era. Big art, a Pokémon everyone has a soft spot for, and a forgiving centering pattern compared with the Base Set holos. The foil window is large and prone to hairlines, so surface is the usual grade cap. The No Symbol Snorlax is a sought-after variant and trades well above the standard print.
Two strong mid-tier holos that round out the most-collected Jungle cards. Wigglytuff has a famously tough centering pattern that makes PSA 10s scarcer than expected, which props up its price. Pinsir is a clean, popular holo with steady demand. Both are good entry points into a Jungle holo run without paying Eeveelution or Scyther money.
The rest of the holos
Clefable, Electrode, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, Nidoqueen, Pidgeot, Venomoth, Victreebel, Vileplume, and the other Jungle holos fill out the 16. None reach the Eeveelution or Scyther tier, but each is a real vintage PSA 10 holo with a tight population, and several are quietly scarce in the top grade. The No Symbol error applies across all of them, so any of these holos with a missing set symbol carries a premium over its standard print.
A note on the No Symbol error
The first Jungle print run shipped without the set symbol in the lower-right corner of the artwork. Wizards corrected it on the next run. Both are 1st Edition, but the No Symbol cards are scarcer and trade at a premium across the entire set. To check, look at the lower-right of the art: if the small Jungle symbol is missing, you are holding the error print. It is the single most valuable thing to know when buying raw Jungle holos.
Common questions
- What is the most valuable Jungle card?
- Scyther and the three Eeveelutions, Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, lead Jungle in PSA 10, 1st Edition. Scyther often tops the set because heavy tournament play left few high-grade survivors. No Symbol error copies of any holo trade at a premium.
- What is the Jungle No Symbol error?
- The first Jungle print run accidentally shipped without the set symbol in the lower-right corner of the artwork. Wizards corrected it on the next run. Both are 1st Edition, but the No Symbol cards are scarcer and command a premium across the whole set.
- Are Jungle 1st Edition cards worth more than Unlimited?
- Yes. For the same card, 1st Edition trades above Unlimited, often by a wide margin in high grade. Jungle has no Shadowless variant, so the two prints to know are 1st Edition and Unlimited, plus the No Symbol error within the early run.
