PSA	9	$59.50	3
PSA	7	$34.95	1

Graded values are medians of real eBay sold listings.

Is it worth grading? Forretress #9 tends to grade consistently when centering is even, since the POP print stock is slightly thicker than standard set cards. Surface print lines are the most common flaw noted by graders on this run. Corner wear from event handling remains the primary condition risk collectors should check closely.

Forretress #9 sits in the affordable tier among Pokemon promotional cards, appealing mainly to POP Series 3 completists rather than broader collectors. Demand appears steady though modest, without any strong signal of a shifting trend. PSA 10 grading premiums remain unclear, which likely reflects limited sales data rather than a lack of interest. It may be a reasonable addition for collectors building out promotional or artist-focused sets.
