ABOUT THIS CARD
Nidoking is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Base Set 2, card 11 of 130, released February 24, 2000 in the Base series. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.
VALUE
What is Nidoking #11 from Base Set 2 worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Nidoking #11 (Base Set 2) carries a market reference of $42.73 USD for the holofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers.
