07Why Collectors Want It

  • The Beedrill V full-art print from 2022's Astral Radiance, the SWSH-era set that introduced the Origin Forme Dialga/Palkia mechanics.
  • A modern V-card chase for the Beedrill line — sits in the era's full-art chase tier alongside the headliner V/VMAX prints.
  • Raw ~$58 vs. PSA 10 ~$163 — a clean ~3× lift; modern V-card centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades.
  • A natural pickup for any modern Beedrill-line collector or SWSH-era V-card completionist.

08Competitive Playability

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
