07Why Collectors Want It

Skyridge (2003) was the final e-Card-era set — its H-subset holos are short-printed and increasingly hard to find clean.
Rhydon H27 features one of the most-loved Rhydon artworks in the entire catalog.
PSA 10 figures (~$1,525) reflect ~7× raw — fragile e-Card foil keeps gem supply tight.
Cross-collector appeal from Skyridge completionists and Rock-type enthusiasts.

08Competitive Playability

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
