About this card’s market
Asking prices run from $2.00 to $95.91. A spread that wide says more about individual listings than about the card — the market price above is what copies actually sold for.
TCGplayer Direct has it at $3.45, below the market price — that is the cheapest verified-condition copy sitting in their warehouse right now.
It sits joint 58th of 83 priced cards in Team Rocket.
It is a Uncommon card, printed in 2000, illustrated by Shin-ichi Yoshida.
It has been out of tournament play for two decades — what is left is collector demand.
