What is Dialga worth?
Dialga is a non-holo Rare. In Celebrations, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Dialga 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
Confirm the print and finish on Dialga before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Dialga grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Dialga is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Dialga
For Dialga, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Dialga rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
