Why Lugia holds value
Lugia is one of the most beloved legendaries, and the Neo Genesis holo is its definitive vintage card. Chronically poor centering from the print run means PSA 10 copies are scarce — so the grade premium here is unusually steep.
- +Card #9/111 from Neo Genesis.
- +1st Edition copies carry a strong premium.
- +Centering is the single biggest factor separating a 9 from a 10.
Frequently asked
Why are gem-mint Lugia cards so rare?
The Neo Genesis print run had widespread centering problems, so very few copies grade a true PSA 10. That scarcity at the top grade is what drives the outsized premium.
