Why Dark Gyarados #8 is priced where it is
Dark Gyarados #8 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Team Rocket, the Base era (2000). It ranks as number 7 by price out of 166 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. A PSA 10 sells for about 21x 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 ($63.05 to $63.05). The illustration is by Kagemaru Himeno.
