About the Mareep card
Numbered GG34 of 70 in Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, released in January 2023, Mareep is a Trainer Gallery Rare Holo, a Basic Lightning-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Mareep needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Mareep Pokédex entry reads: "Rubbing its fleece generates electricity. You'll want to pet it because it's cute, but if you use your bare hand, you'll get a painful shock."
What is Mareep worth?
Mareep is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Mareep before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Mareep comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Mareep can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Mareep
For Mareep, variant comes before condition. Confirm the exact rarity tier on the Mareep, since the spread between tiers is wide. Demand a clear photo of the Mareep holo for any raw purchase.
