Tap to open
Goldeen #111 is one of those quiet little commons from the 2002 Expedition set that most folks pass over on the checklist, but it's got a soft spot for collectors who like Masako Yamashita's artwork and the early-era charm of that set. If you're checking Goldeen value right now, the short version is that this is a low-cost card that stays low-cost, and that's honestly part of its appeal for anyone building a full Expedition run.

The collector's take on Goldeen
Is Goldeen worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Goldeen sits around $3, while a PSA 10 climbs to $34, which works out to roughly 11.4x the ungraded price. That sounds like a nice jump, and it is, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into that margin fast on a card this inexpensive. A Grade 9 only brings $30, so you really need that gem mint 10 to make the trip worthwhile, and pulling a 10 on a common like this isn't guaranteed just because the card looks clean in the sleeve. If you already own a sharp copy and you're doing a batch submission anyway, it's worth including. If you're grading Goldeen alone just to see what happens, think hard about whether the potential $34 payout covers your costs.
How rare is Goldeen?
Only 224 copies of Goldeen have been graded in total, and 67 of those landed a PSA 10. That's a fairly high gem rate for a common card, which tells you this one isn't especially hard to get graded high when someone actually bothers to submit it. The scarcity here isn't about rarity in the traditional sense, it's more that so few people grade a $3 common in the first place, so the population numbers stay small simply from lack of demand rather than lack of supply.
Where can you pull Goldeen?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pack rips across sites like tilt-rips, collector-crypt, and courtyard, and Goldeen has shown up in 200 or more recorded pulls across those platforms. It tends to surface in lower-tier and starter-style packs, things like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Novice Pack, Rookie Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack. The biggest single pull we've logged for this card hit $204, which is a fun reminder that even a common Expedition card can occasionally land in a pack worth real money, though that's the exception, not the rule. Most people opening packs are gambling more than investing, and that's true here too, but if you like the thrill of the rip, Goldeen is genuinely out there waiting in these lower-cost pack types.
Questions people ask
How much is Goldeen worth?+
A raw, ungraded Goldeen #111 from Expedition is worth about $3. That's the everyday market price for a common in typical played or lightly handled condition, and it's the number most sellers and buyers reference.
Is Goldeen worth grading?+
It can be, but go in with clear eyes. A PSA 10 brings $34 against a $3 raw price, roughly 11.4x, while a Grade 9 only nets $30, so the real reward is tied specifically to hitting that top grade, and grading costs can outweigh the gain on a card this affordable.
How much is a PSA 10 Goldeen worth?+
A PSA 10 Goldeen is valued at $34. Out of 224 total graded copies, 67 have achieved that gem mint 10, so it's an achievable grade but still the clear ceiling for this card's value.
