Forretress · Skyridge, what to know.
About the Forretress card
Numbered 56 of 182 in Skyridge, released in May 2003, Forretress is a Common, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 70 HP.
It evolves from Pineco, so Forretress is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Forretress worth?
Forretress is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Forretress before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Forretress is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Forretress
Raw copies of Forretress are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Forretress is the practical move.
