Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Wailord before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.

If you are collecting Wailord
Raw copies of Wailord are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Wailord is the practical move.
