Aerodactyl · Scarlet & Violet 151, what to know.
About the Aerodactyl card
Numbered 142 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, Aerodactyl is a Rare, a Stage 1 Colorless-type carrying 130 HP.
It evolves from Antique Old Amber, so Aerodactyl is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Aerodactyl Pokédex entry reads: "Aerodactyl's sawlike fangs can shred skin to tatters—even the skin of Steel-type Pokémon."

What is Aerodactyl worth?
Aerodactyl is a non-holo Rare. In Scarlet & Violet 151, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Aerodactyl 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.

Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Aerodactyl before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Aerodactyl grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Aerodactyl is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Aerodactyl
