+

TickerMint began tracking Pokemon prices on 2024-02-08, after Steelix (H23) 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 Steelix (H23) [Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $339.95 (2026-08-25) and bottomed at $64.00 (2024-05-09).

Is Steelix #H23/H32 worth grading?

+

Grading Steelix #H23/H32 pays only if you expect a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $809.98 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 28, 2026) vs $339.95 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees you'd need about 1 in 12 copies to grade a 10 to break even (a 9% 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.
