07Why Collectors Want It

  • Legendary Collection reverse-holos are perennial sleepers; the base card is a common while the reverse commands a premium.
  • LC holo foil is condition-sensitive, keeping gem-mint supply tight.
  • A staple chase for Legendary Collection and Meowth collectors.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Reverse-holo PSA 10 ~$774 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Legendary Collection reverse-holo foil scratches easily; PSA 10 copies are scarcer than raw and carry a solid premium.

Other graders: CGC and BGS also grade LC reverses; PSA remains the resale standard.
