VALUE

What is Dratini #53 from Team Rocket worth?

Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Dratini #53 (Team Rocket) carries a market reference of $3.75 USD for the 1stEdition 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 $221.50 (PSA 10).
