What is Orbeetle worth?
Orbeetle is a non-holo Rare. In Sword & Shield, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Orbeetle 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 Orbeetle before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Orbeetle grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Orbeetle is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Orbeetle
