Aerodactyl · Neo Revelation, what to know.
About the Aerodactyl card
Numbered 15 of 66 in Neo Revelation, released in September 2001, Aerodactyl is a Rare, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 60 HP.
It evolves from Mysterious Fossil, 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: "A vicious Pokémon from the distant past, it appears to have flown by spreading its wings and gliding."
About Aerodactyl in the Pokémon world
A Rock-Flying fossil Pokémon revived from the Old Amber. Massive prehistoric pterosaur silhouette. Fossil holo Aerodactyl is one of the marquee Fossil holos. Its prehistoric design and competitive playability in 1999 keep it in steady demand.
What is Aerodactyl worth?
Aerodactyl is a non-holo Rare. In Neo Revelation, 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. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Neo Revelation produced 1st Edition, Unlimited, Shining prints. For Aerodactyl, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.
Grading and condition
On Aerodactyl, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Aerodactyl in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Aerodactyl
For Aerodactyl, 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 Aerodactyl can make sense.
