Gyarados #BS 6: rarity, grading and trend

Gyarados #BS 6 is a Rare Holo card from Base Set, the Base era (1999). It ranks as number 80 by price out of 307 cards in the set. The illustration is by Mitsuhiro Arita.

Is it worth grading? On such a low stated raw band, encapsulation has little financial margin unless the copy is unusually sharp, and the missing gem-mint multiple adds uncertainty. Tilt the holo under direct light to find fine scuffs or print lines, then inspect the blue back for whitening.

Players from the early era may remember Dragon Rage and Bubblebeam, a simple attack pair that gave Base Set Gyarados immediate table identity. For binder builders, matching it with the set's Magikarp creates a concise two-card evolution display.
