Why Steelix #H23 is priced where it is

Steelix #H23 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Aquapolis, the E-Card era (2003). A PSA 10 sells for about 10x the raw price, so centering and surface condition decide most of what a copy is worth. Its price has held almost flat over the last 30 days ($290.56 to $290.56). The illustration is by Hajime Kusajima.

Is it worth grading? Given the expensive raw band and a pronounced gem-mint multiplier, professional grading is sensible for copies with a realistic shot at the highest levels. Steelix's holo field should be checked under angled light, since scratches, print lines and edge whitening can quickly limit the grade.

Hajime Kusajima also illustrated Tentacruel H26 in the same holo sequence, allowing a compact two-card artist pairing within Aquapolis. Steelix adds a popular evolution-line subject, so H23 works equally well in species pages, artist runs and complete H-number sets.
