Seadra · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Seadra card
Numbered 58 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Seadra is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Water-type carrying 70 HP.
It evolves from Horsea, so Seadra is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita painted the Base Set Charizard and much of the early holo run, and his work has a painterly weight that set the visual tone of the Wizards era.

What is Seadra worth?
Seadra 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 Seadra before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Seadra 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 Seadra
Raw copies of Seadra are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Seadra is the practical move.
