What is Light Dragonair worth?
Light Dragonair is a non-holo Rare.

Grading and condition
On Light Dragonair, 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 Light Dragonair in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Light Dragonair
For Light Dragonair, 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 Light Dragonair can make sense.
