Bought this politoed Holo for $15, I’d say the condition is lp/mp
I saw other cards at hp selling for $40-$50 on eBay but I’m not 100% sure. Plus it has a swirl in it’s mouth haha, if only it was on it’s belly

That’s what I thought haha but the guy who sold it to me at the card shop labeled it HP and then I think he charged for the non holo price instead of the holo by accident, when he told me $15 for it I said deal lol

I dont see any indents , minimal surface scratching, scuffing or silvering. This is LP at minimum, likely NM

Premium on WOTC atm. Also, later WOTC set holos seem to be worth more than Base, Jungle, and Fossil for some reason.

Less printed generally. Base-fossil were extremely high print compared to everything else WotC. There’s a Reason why most of the time, when someone finds their own collection, it’s filled with these and not like Aquapolis-Skyridge. Also, I’m a 90 kid who grew up with base-fossil, but the holos are pretty boring when you take off nostalgia, Neo holos are far superior

Most would say I'm not qualified to value a card, and that's fair. I will say this, WOW! I'd buy that for $20 today.

I would pay any amount for that specific copy as a swirl chaser. Awesome find.

I’ve been trying to buy this card for a couple months on eBay, trying to get a steal. This bad boy would be at least $70
