2002 Neo Destiny Dark Ariados #17 value & prices

The 2002 Neo Destiny Dark Ariados #17 is a Pokémon card released in 2002. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $7.66.

An ungraded copy is worth around $7.66, a PSA 9 around $107.45 and a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $500.00. That's roughly a 65× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.

Is it worth grading?

With raw copies near $7.66 and top grades reaching $500.00, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
