Exeggutor · Base Set 2, what to know.
About the Exeggutor card
Exeggutor is card 39 of 130 in Base Set 2, released in February 2000, an Uncommon. It is a Stage 1 Grass-type with 80 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Exeggcute, which places Exeggutor deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
The card's flavor text gives Exeggutor a line of lore: "Legend has it that on rare occasions, one of its heads will drop off and continue on as an Exeggcute."

What is Exeggutor worth?
Exeggutor is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Base Set 2 produced Unlimited prints. For Exeggutor, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Exeggutor grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Exeggutor
Raw copies of Exeggutor are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Exeggutor is the practical move.
