What Is Steelix (Japanese) Worth?
Steelix (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SM11b: Dream League set, card number 034/049. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Steelix (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Steelix (Japanese) (SM11b: Dream League, 034/049) is worth around $0.51 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.51, while a Lightly Played one drops to roughly $0.25. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $22.50 — about 44x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $6.00.
Is It Worth Grading Steelix (Japanese)?
Grading Steelix (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.51) and a PSA 10 ($22.50) is about $21.99 — a 44x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $6.00, CGC 10 $20.00. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
