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