What Is Steelix Worth?
Steelix (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the Aquapolis set, card number 035/147. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Steelix Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Steelix (Aquapolis, 035/147) is worth around $89.99 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $89.99, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $22.92. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $89.99, Lightly Played $42.09, Moderately Played $25.98, Heavily Played $28.20, Damaged $22.92 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $1,000 — about 11x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $85.00.
Is It Worth Grading Steelix?
Grading Steelix can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($89.99) and a PSA 10 ($1,000) is about $910.01 — a 11x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $85.00, CGC 10 $165.00, PSA 8 $70.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
