07Why Collectors Want It

  • A reverse-holo of a base common from 2002's Legendary Collection — the WotC-era set famous for turning sub-$2 commons into PSA 10 grading-flip chases.
  • Raw reverse-holo ~$61 vs. PSA 10 ~$1,200 — a clean ~20× grading multiple, putting it firmly in sleeper-chase territory for Spearow collectors.
  • Legendary Collection mirror-foil surfaces scratch easily and centering downgrades are common; gem-mint copies require legitimately clean pulls.
  • A grail-tier sleeper for any Fearow-line collector and one of the loudest LC reverse-holo flips on the entire Spearow board.

08Competitive Playability

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Spearow PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
