What sets the price of Zapdos #15
Zapdos #15 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Fossil, the Base era (1999). It ranks as number 7 by price out of 124 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. A PSA 10 sells for about 26x 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 ($40.63 to $40.63).
