VALUE
What is Politoed #8 from Neo Discovery worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Politoed #8 (Neo Discovery) carries a market reference of $189.36 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 - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers. The graded copy in our machine carries a Rip Station estimated slab value of $114.00 (CGC 8.5).
