What is Jynx worth?
Jynx is a non-holo Rare. In Aquapolis, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Jynx 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 Jynx before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Jynx grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Jynx is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Jynx
For Jynx, 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 Jynx can make sense.
