Tangela was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 66 of 102, which puts it in the middle third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Staryu (#65) and Voltorb (#67). 39 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 50.

Which printing you are holding

Tangela 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. Priced, Tangela would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
