What is Celebi worth?
Celebi is a non-holo Rare. In Neo Revelation, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Celebi trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Neo Revelation produced 1st Edition, Unlimited, Shining prints. For Celebi, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Celebi are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. Wizards-era cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Celebi survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Celebi
For Celebi, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Celebi can make sense.
