Price history
Today an ungraded Team Rocket's Tyranitar [Staff] #96 sells for about €102.45, a PSA 9 for €99.77 and a PSA 10 for €368.36. We have monthly prices for this card going back to June 2025.

Grading and population
PSA has graded 1,130 copies. 627 received a PSA 10 and 430 a PSA 9, a gem rate of 55.5%, which makes it one of the easier cards to grade a 10. A PSA 10 sells for 3.6× the ungraded price and 3.7× a PSA 9. That gap is big enough that grading a sharp, well-centred copy can pay for itself.
Investment potential
In its favour: steady demand, with ungraded prices up 12% in a year; an active market (93 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: a plentiful top grade, with 55.5% of graded copies already PSA 10; large modern print runs, which tend to cap prices unless a card becomes iconic. Card prices can fall as well as rise, so this is not financial advice.
Before you buy
Expect to pay around €102.45 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €99.77. At this price fakes are worth checking for: compare the font, colours and holo pattern with a known genuine copy (see how to spot fake Pokémon cards) and look up the certificate of any graded copy (how to check a PSA cert number). Modern cards often leave the pack with print lines or surface scratches, so check the surface under a light (spotting surface scratches). Ask for clear photographs of both sides, verify the exact release and variant, and check for damage that may not appear in the listing title.
