Zapdos #20: rarity, grading and trend
Zapdos #20 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Base Set 2, the Base era (2000). It ranks as number 9 by price out of 130 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. A PSA 10 sells for about 40x 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 ($36.57 to $36.03). The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.
