Omastar · Legendary Collection, what to know.
About the Omastar card
Numbered 58 of 110 in Legendary Collection, released in May 2002, Omastar is an Uncommon, a Stage 2 Water-type carrying 70 HP.
It evolves from Omanyte, so Omastar is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Sugimori is the lead character designer of Pokémon itself, so his card art carries the tight, on-model look that defined how the creatures appear in the games.
Omastar carries this Pokédex flavor text: "A prehistoric Pokémon that died out when its heavy shell made it impossible for it to catch prey."

What is Omastar worth?
Omastar is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Omastar before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Omastar grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Omastar
Raw copies of Omastar are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Omastar is the practical move.
