Psyduck

Card 104/147

The 2003 Aquapolis Psyduck (#104) — whose reverse-holo parallel is a jaw-dropping e-Card-era sleeper, by far the most valuable Psyduck and one of the priciest non-rare cards in the catalogue.

07Why Collectors Want It

  • The reverse-holo parallel is the chase: verified ~$550 raw, with PSA 10 copies realizing an astonishing ~$17,500.
  • Aquapolis reverse-holos are e-Card-era scarcities; surviving gem-mint copies are extraordinarily thin.
  • A textbook sleeper — the price feed lists Psyduck as a near-worthless common, masking a four-figure reverse-holo chase.
  • Required for any Aquapolis or Psyduck master set.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Psyduck with 50 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Reverse-holo PSA 10 ~$17,537 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026) — roughly 30× the raw price.

Aquapolis reverse-holos chip at the edges and scratch readily, so PSA 10 population is tiny — which drives the extreme graded premium.

Other graders: CGC and BGS also slab e-Card-era reverses; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
