Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Brock's Rhyhorn are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. Wizards-era cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Brock's Rhyhorn survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Brock's Rhyhorn
For Brock's Rhyhorn, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Brock's Rhyhorn can make sense.
