Binacle · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Binacle card
Numbered 106 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Binacle is a Common, a Basic Fighting-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Binacle needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Binacle carries this Pokédex flavor text: "After two Binacle find a suitably sized rock, they adhere themselves to it and live together. They cooperate to gather food during high tide."
What is Binacle worth?
Binacle is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Binacle before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Binacle is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Binacle
Raw copies of Binacle are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Binacle is the practical move.
