Ninetales is one of 16 cards printed with a holofoil panel in this set. By checklist position it is 12 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Nidoking (#11) and Poliwrath (#13). 11 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 80.
Which printing you are holding
Ninetales was printed three times over, and the three do not trade alike. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Each printing of Ninetales therefore gets its own cell here, never one blended number.
