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.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Cubone with 40 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Teary Eyes Cost: Colorless

During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Cubone by attacks is reduced by 20.

Tackle Cost: Fighting · 10 damage

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.
