In TickerMint's daily data (since February 2024), the TCGplayer market price for Dark Arbok [Reverse Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $299.99 (2026-09-24) and bottomed at $18.88 (2024-09-01).

Is Dark Arbok #29/109 worth grading?

+

Grading Dark Arbok #29/109 pays only if you expect a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $719.99 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 22, 2026) vs $299.99 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees you'd need about 1 in 10 copies to grade a 10 to break even (a 10% 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.
