+

TickerMint began tracking Pokemon prices on 2024-02-08, after Gyarados (Red) 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 Gyarados (Red) [Reverse Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $499.99 (2026-09-19) and bottomed at $44.95 (2024-11-14).

Is Gyarados #123/123 worth grading?

+

Grading Gyarados #123/123 pays only if you expect a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $2,471.21 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 26, 2026) vs $499.99 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees you'd need about 1 in 49 copies to grade a 10 to break even (a 3% 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.
