Dark Dragonite #22 Team Rocket FAQ
Is this the 1st Edition or Unlimited print?
This is the 1st Edition, and the PSA label reads 1st Edition. The Unlimited printing has its own population and trades at a different price level, so match the edition before comparing sold comps.
How should I read the PSA 10 against the PSA 9 pop?
535 PSA 10s is about 15% of the 3,540 graded PSA 7 and up, while 1,683 PSA 9s is roughly 48%. A 10 is therefore about a third as common as a 9, which is why the grade carries a clear premium on this card. Compare recent sold prices for both before you decide.
Is this a holo?
No. Team Rocket Dark Dragonite #22 is a non-holo rare, so the card has no foil pattern, and condition comes down to centering, edges and surface.
What decides a PSA 10 on a non-holo from this era?
Centering and edges first, then surface and corners. The yellow border shows edge whitening readily, so the borders in the photos are worth a close look.
Are the pop numbers exactly PSA’s?
They come from public PSA population data and are dated on this page. Counts move as cards are graded, so check psacard.com/pop for current figures before relying on them for a purchase decision.
How do I verify this slab?
Enter cert number 28109276 at psacard.com/cert and match the card name, set, number, edition and grade to the label and photos. Then inspect the case for cracks, scuffs or any sign of tampering.
