The Pokédex entry printed on Lairon reads: "Lairon live in mountains brimming with spring water and iron ore, so these Pokémon often came into conflict with humans in the past."
What is Lairon worth?
Lairon is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Lairon before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Lairon grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Lairon
Raw copies of Lairon are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Lairon is the practical move.
