VALUE

What is Dark Ariados #30 from Team Rocket Returns worth?

Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Dark Ariados #30 (Team Rocket Returns) carries a market reference of $3.31 USD for the normal 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.
