Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Torchic ☆
Torchic ☆ 108/109 is the English Gold Star Torchic from EX Team Rocket Returns. Collectors search it because it is a starter Pokémon Gold Star with unusually strong condition sensitivity in the PSA market.
Why this card matters
Verified factThe official EX Team Rocket Returns checklist lists Torchic ☆ as card 108/109, one of the set's Gold Star cards. PSA's set article also highlights Mudkip, Torchic, and Treecko as the Gold Star trio from this release and attributes Torchic's high-grade importance partly to condition scarcity and demand. This is not a generic Torchic card; the Gold Star symbol, set, language, and card number define the object before any price comparison. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factConfirm English EX Team Rocket Returns, card number 108/109, the Torchic ☆ name, and the Gold Star symbol. PSA labels commonly use 2004 Pokémon EX Team Rocket Returns #108 Torchic-Holo. Do not merge it with regular Torchic cards, Japanese versions, Treecko ☆, Mudkip ☆, raw copies, or another grader unless the sales table says so. The seed variant list is correct as a single English Gold Star holo variant. [1][3]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisThe reviewed PSA records show sharp grade separation and some unusually large 2026 reported sales. A PSA 9 eBay auction at $123,200 on 2026-09-24 and a PSA 8 eBay auction at $45,100 on the same date should be recorded, but treated carefully because one sale can dominate a thin market. PSA 7, PSA 6, and PSA 5 entries are separate comp groups. For valuation, prioritize exact sold records and note outliers rather than smoothing them away. [3][4][5][6]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against the official checklist and known card layout for EX Team Rocket Returns: name, 108/109 number, Gold Star mark, set symbol, artwork, and attack text. Inspect holo surface, print quality, edges, corners, and back color. For slabs, match the certification record and holder images where available, but remember copied cert numbers exist. Do not rely on destructive tests or cleaning; unresolved high-value examples should be reviewed by a qualified specialist. [1][7][8]
