Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX

The cheapest UK ask at £30.00 is flagged as LP condition, so a clean copy could command more, especially given that played copies make up 55% of UK stock and Near Mint is scarce. Grading to PSA 10 only makes sense if the copy is flawless—a 9 is worth £37.10 but a 10 jumps to £135, a 3.6× gap. Raw copies are shifting steadily at a median of £26.80 (11 sales in 14 days), though the momentum is real: up 17.3% this week and 47% this month from a low of £16.03. UK buyers are clearly happy with ACE—21 of 36 recent graded sales were ACE rather than PSA.
