About Fearow in the Pokémon world
The fully evolved Spearow. Long beak, large wingspan, hostile in-game behavior. Jungle holo Fearow is a sleeper. Centered PSA 10 examples are scarcer than the population reports suggest.
What is Fearow worth?
Fearow is a non-holo Rare. In Expedition Base Set, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Fearow 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
Confirm the print and finish on Fearow before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Fearow grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Fearow is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Fearow
For Fearow, 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 Fearow can make sense.
