VALUE
What is Dark Espeon #4 from Neo Destiny worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Dark Espeon #4 (Neo Destiny) carries a market reference of $200.00 USD for the 1stEditionHolofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - one documented public sale is on file for this card, $78000.00 for a PSA 10 on 2026-09-01, listed with its source below. Both are references, not offers.
