07Why Collectors Want It

  • A reverse-holo Murkrow from Skyridge (2003); the reverse parallel is the value driver, not the common base.
  • Verified at ~$83 raw, PSA 10 ~$425 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — roughly a 5x gem-mint multiple.
  • Reverse-holos of commons have tiny high-grade populations, fueling the premium.
  • Reverse-holo surfaces scratch easily, so gem-mint copies are rare.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$425 against ~$83 raw — roughly 5x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Reverse-holo surfaces scratch and whiten readily, and few were graded, so the gem-mint population is small.

Other graders: PSA leads resale on reverse-holo sleepers; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
