What is Grapploct worth?
Grapploct is a non-holo Rare. In Sword & Shield, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Grapploct 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.

Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Grapploct are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. These cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Grapploct survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Grapploct
For Grapploct, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Grapploct rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
