Omastar · Skyridge, what to know.
About the Omastar card
Numbered 23 of 182 in Skyridge, released in May 2003, Omastar is a Rare, a Stage 2 Water-type carrying 90 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.

What is Omastar worth?
Omastar is a non-holo Rare. In Skyridge, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Omastar 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 Omastar before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Omastar are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. Wizards-era cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Omastar survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Omastar
For Omastar, 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 Omastar can make sense.
