Welcome to the Base Set PGR(Population Growth Report)
 
This thread is a Weekly Updated Thread covering all 4 Variants(1st Ed, Shadowless, Unlimited and Gapless) of Base Sets PSA Population Growth Updated every Tuesday.
PGRs are slightly different from looking at today's Population Report because it tracks/records Base Set Holos Populations over time.
By doing so we can see the growth of these cards. Anyone is free to share/copy info shared here.

A sincere THANK YOU to CGC for allowing this thread to exist in their forums. When CGC launches their Pop Reports, I will be doing a separate PGR for CGC.

I'll take suggestions on everything but Terminology. 4th/Uk Print are wrong, Base 2000 was taken 20 years ago by Base Set 2, and 1999-2000 is a stale name. Gapless is here to stay :)

Also for anyone who isn't a fan of things like colors(no matter what changes I do or don't make) can copy and paste the spreadsheet into their own and change things around.

What does gapless mean....and which Charizard is harder to find in a higher grade 1st edition or Shadowless?

The 8th and final print run of Base Set was a very special print run. It's commonly referred to as "4th Print" or "UK Print" which both are wrong.

If you look at the bottom copyright text, you will find Gaps between Illus. and Set Number in Unlimited but to fit the "-2000", the Gaps were removed, thus Gapless.

As far as which is rarer, I would personally wait and see. This is when we would started to see Bulk Submissions from Oct. onward be graded and released.

In the case of Charizard 10's, I believe Gapless for many reasons. 2nd would be shadowless but Gary owns like half of them.

Outside 10's is a different story. Still Gapless is the most rare by far but between 1st Ed. and Shadowless, 1st Ed. seems more rare. There's just less totals for 1st Ed. vs Shaodwless.

There's just almost twice as many Shadowless being Graded consistently. I would recommend checking the full spreadsheet.

If you look up Pokemon Base Set 4th Print  on ebay you get 599 results currently in active listings. If you look up Pokemon base set 1999-2000 you get 1,110 results in active listings. If you look up Pokemon Base Set Gapless you get 0 results currently in active listings and 0 in sold listings. NOBODY calls it Gapless besides you.

That's cool. 

Why should I follow everyone else in being wrong?

You go ahead and do that, I'll go do me.

4th print has separate dates 1999-2000 that differentiates them from the other version, there's no need to term it 'gapless' that just causes more confusion, especially by your need to show 3 separate pictures circling 8 circles when you can just show 2 cards and just circle the dates on the bottom, or am I missing something.

I think calling the 8th Print "4th Print" is confusing. The person who termed it 4th Print regrets it after finding out there were 8 Prints of Base Set. But people continue to want to be wrong which is ok, there's many of us switching to a better term. I get DMs from people liking Gapless but are scared of people pushing their wrong terms so aggressively they don't say anything.

The circles are not for the dates. It's to show the Gap difference the dates created.

I'm guessing people really could careless about the changes after the 1st to 2nd prints.

At that point they're just meaningless changes. Just my 2c
