The top card is Lugia V #110 at €659.79.

Character and collecting appeal

Gapejaw Bog can be approached as a character collectible and as an entry in its named release. For set builders, the exact card number matters; for character collectors, it helps distinguish this version from other appearances of the same Pokémon.

Version and identification

Look for the printed number #125 and the Japanese Paradigm Trigger set symbol to confirm you have this exact card, and check the text is Japanese.

Price history

Today an ungraded Gapejaw Bog #125 sells for about €3.48, a PSA 9 for €6.68 and a PSA 10 for €25.81. We have monthly prices for this card going back to November 2022. Over the last 12 months ungraded copies are up 28%, and up 1% in the last month. Its highest monthly ungraded value was €16.34 in November 2022, so it is 79% below that peak. PSA 10 copies have moved down 15% over the same 12 months.

Grading and population

PSA has graded 113 copies. 91 received a PSA 10 and 20 a PSA 9, a gem rate of 80.5%, which makes it one of the easier cards to grade a 10. A PSA 10 sells for 7.4× the ungraded price and 3.9× a PSA 9. That gap is small, so grading fees may outweigh the gain unless the card is for your own collection.

Investment potential

In its favour: steady demand, with ungraded prices up 28% in a year; a price well below its November 2022 peak, which some collectors see as room to recover; an active market (40 recent completed sales), so it is easy to sell. Against it: a plentiful top grade, with 80.5% of graded copies already PSA 10; large modern print runs, which tend to cap prices unless a card becomes iconic. Past prices do not guarantee future ones. This is not financial advice.

Before you buy

Expect to pay around €3.48 for a clean ungraded copy; played copies sell for less, and a PSA 9 costs about €6.68. 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.
