07Why Collectors Want It
- Aquapolis (2003) reverse holos are pop-thin in PSA 10 because of fragile e-Card foiling.
- Cubone is a Common in this set, so most copies were tossed — surviving raw reverse-holos in clean NM grade are scarce.
- PSA 10 figures (~$3,868) reflect a ~26× lift over raw — among the largest grading premiums on any Cubone print across all sets.
- A genuine collector grail-tier card that flies under the price-feed radar because Aquapolis Cubone isn't a flagship name.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.
Aquapolis 2003 reverse-holo Common; PSA 10 supply famously thin. Realized PSA 10 ~$3,868 (PriceCharting, May 2026), ~26× raw.
Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
