Japanese Vending Machine Poliwhirl 61/125 Series I: Prices by Grade

Japanese Vending Machine (1998) · 61/125 · Series I

Prices for this printing

Each row opens to its sales — dated, venue-labelled, linked where the listing still exists. Raw is our own estimate: the average of the five highest ungraded sales in the last three months, priced from eBay completed listings only — graded slabs from other companies, multi-card lots and reprints are filtered out, and the table under it lists exactly those five with the date each one sold. Vintage raw sales are dominated by played copies, while the near-mint copies people actually grade are the expensive ones. Each graded row averages the sales listed under it. PSA and CGC are priced separately and never averaged together. Every block names the sales it rests on.

CGC — the same card graded by CGC. Priced separately from PSA, because the two companies grade to different standards and their prices are never blended.

Sources, named per row. Graded PSA rows come from PriceCharting's PSA grade bands — the grader is named in the seller's own listing title, so each row is one sold listing with its date and link, and two kinds of record are left out: sales far below the card's own auction level (counterfeit slabs and mis-listed items carry copied cert numbers, which is how a real PSA 10 Charizard cert appears at $36) and ended fixed-price listings, which are not confirmed sales. Every row links to its own sold listing. Ungraded and CGC rows come from eBay completed listings via PriceCharting: the seller's own title is what removed the other companies' slabs, the multi-card lots and the reprints, and each row links to the eBay item — eBay retires item pages after a few months, so an older row may no longer open.

Sold from a vending machine, three cards to a sheet. The 1998 拡張シート (Expansion Sheet) cards came on 18 numbered sheets per series, each sheet a fixed trio that the buyer peeled apart; the back of every sheet carried Kanto locations and, in Series 1 and 2, gameplay tips and expansion adverts. All three series are on glossy card stock rather than the usual matte, and no card prints a collector number — the number shown is the National Dex the price source files them by. Series 1 (Blue) 23 March 1998 · Series 2 (Red) 17 June 1998 · Series 3 (Green) 24 November 1998. Source: Bulbapedia, Vending Machine cards (TCG); prices and scans from PriceCharting.
