What is the all-time high price for Zapdos (15)?

+

TickerMint began tracking Pokemon prices on 2024-02-08, after Zapdos (15) came out, so these are the highest and lowest prices since we began tracking (2024-02-08), not all-time records. In TickerMint's daily data (since February 2024), the TCGplayer market price for Zapdos (15) [1st Edition Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $208.37 (2026-10-21) and bottomed at $67.41 (2024-08-13).

Is Zapdos #15/62 worth grading?

+

Grading Zapdos #15/62 pays only if you expect a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $1,005.00 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 8, 2026) vs $208.37 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees you'd need about 1 in 20 copies to grade a 10 to break even (a 6% chance). That assumes a 9 or lower sells like a raw copy. "Listed from" is the lowest current PSA 10 asking price on eBay, not a sale, and asks can sit above what copies actually sell for. Whether your copy grades a 10 depends on its centering, corners, edges and surface.
