48 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 40. Its binder neighbours are Starmie (#64) and Tangela (#66). Staryu was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 65 of 102, which puts it in the middle third of the binder.
Which printing you are holding
Which Staryu you are holding is decided before grade is: the set ran in three printings. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Priced, Staryu would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
