Horsea 1st Edition #62 value & price

Tap to open
Horsea is that little blue seahorse from Neo Genesis, card #62, released back in 2000 as a common with a lovely illustration from Miki Tanaka. It's not the card that headlines a set, but that's exactly why longtime collectors have a soft spot for it, and it's also why so many people search for Horsea value without finding a straight answer. Right now a raw copy sits at $3, while a pristine PSA 10 trades hands for $194, which tells you a lot about how much condition matters even on a humble common.

The collector's take on Horsea
Is Horsea worth grading?
So is Horsea worth grading? Here's the honest answer: a PSA 10 is worth 55.8 times what the raw card sells for, which sounds like a great deal on paper, and sometimes it is. But getting a 10 on a card like this isn't guaranteed, grading costs money and time regardless of the result, and a Grade 9 only brings $26, a big step down from that $194 ceiling. If you already own a Horsea that looks sharp under a loupe with no whitening or centering issues, it can be worth the gamble. If it's a well loved copy from a binder, the smarter move is usually to just enjoy it or sell it raw.
How rare is Horsea?
Across all grading services combined, there are 306 graded copies of Horsea on record, and only 42 of those have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That's a fairly small slice sitting at the very top, which is part of why gem mint examples command such a premium over raw and Grade 9 copies. When a common card from an early set like Neo Genesis has that few true gems in circulation, it puts a natural ceiling on supply that the price reflects pretty clearly.
Where can you pull Horsea?
This is where PackSpy's tracking comes in handy, and honestly it's the part price guides can't tell you. We haven't recorded a single pull of Horsea across the pack sites we track, which tells us it's either genuinely rare to open or people are holding onto it once they do. In practice, if you're after a Horsea for your collection, your best bet right now is the secondary market rather than hoping to rip it from a pack. It's worth remembering that opening packs is always a gamble, and most rips don't cover their cost, so chasing a specific common like this one through packs alone isn't a reliable plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Horsea worth?+
A raw, ungraded Horsea from Neo Genesis is worth $3. Once graded, the value climbs sharply: a Grade 9 sits at $26, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy reaches $194, so condition really does the heavy lifting on this card's price.
Is Horsea worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sells for 55.8 times the raw price. Just know that only 42 of the 306 graded copies have hit that top grade, so it's not a sure thing, and grading fees eat into your profit if the card comes back lower.
Why is the Horsea 1st Edition #62 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st Edition copies from Neo Genesis carry that extra stamp collectors specifically look for, marking them as part of the earliest print run of the set. That history and lower general availability compared to later reprints is what keeps 1st Edition cards like this one more desirable to collectors building complete or higher end sets.
