Skyridge Pop Report (2026): PSA 10 Population for the Scarcest WOTC Set
On this page
There are 1,812 PSA 10 Skyridge cards in existence across the 13 printings our census can count — and this page lists every one of them, with the gem-mint price next to each count. Just as telling is what cannot be counted: 25 of the 38 tracked cards in the scarcest WOTC set have no resolvable GemRate population chain at all, because almost nobody ever graded them. PSA's own population report now sits behind a login; ours is free, exact where chains resolve, and refreshed monthly. It is one chapter of the full WOTC pop report — and the cost side of the same data lives in what a complete PSA 10 Skyridge set costs.
How Many PSA 10 Skyridge Cards Exist?
1,812 PSA 10s across the 13 printings with resolvable chains — 11of the counts below are exact GemRate chains, the other two are modeled and marked †. For scale, Base Set's tracked census runs 5,865 gems; the entire countable gem supply of Skyridge is less than a third of that, and 250 of them are one card. The deeper story is the omissions: the other 25 tracked cards — most of the H-holo run, plus the Crystal Ho-Oh and Crystal Kabutops — have no chain to count. On the set where raw singles are scarcest, grading submissions simply never happened in countable volume. The table below is the census we can prove, scarcest first:
| Card | PSA 10 pop | PSA 10 price | Gem market cap | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 2003 Skyridge Steelix (Holo) #H29 | 33† | $3,120 | $102,960 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Moltres (Holo) #H20 | 45† | $900 | $40,500 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Dewgong (Holo) #H6 | 97 | $884 | $85,748 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Crobat (Secret) #147 | 100 | $4,680 | $468,000 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Flareon (Holo) #H7 | 101 | $1,380 | $139,380 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Vaporeon (Holo) #H31 | 115 | $3,000 | $345,000 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Poliwrath (Holo) #H24 | 135 | $3,945 | $532,575 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Ledian (Holo) #H14 | 137 | $2,160 | $295,920 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Articuno (Holo) #H3 | 149 | $9,600 | $1,430,400 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Kabutops (Holo) #H13 | 174 | $2,760 | $480,240 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Celebi (Secret) #145 | 218 | $24,600 | $5,362,800 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Charizard (Secret) #146 | 250 | $102,000 | $25,500,000 |
 | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Golem (Secret) #148 | 258 | $4,320 | $1,114,560 |
How Many PSA 10 Crystal Charizards Are There?
250 PSA 10 Crystal Charizards exist, from 1,653 total gradings — an exact chain, and the deepest count in the set. Here is the full grade pyramid behind the most expensive e-Series card:
1,653 gradings, 250 tens — a 15.1% gem rate. Hold that against the 1999 benchmark: the Base Set Unlimited Charizard gems at 0.48% from 101,739gradings. Skyridge's bottleneck is not condition — e-Series print quality was excellent — it is submissions: the biggest card in the set has been graded 1,653 times in two decades, against more than 101,000 gradings for its Base Set counterpart. The print run was tiny, sealed product now trades for four figures a pack, and so the pyramid stays small. Those 250 gems are worth $25,500,000 combined — 71% of the set's entire countable gem market cap.
Does Skyridge Have 1st Edition Cards?
No — Skyridge has no 1st Edition, and never did. WOTC retired the 1st Edition stamp after the Neo era, so the three e-Series sets (Expedition, Aquapolis, Skyridge) each exist in exactly one print run. That is why this pop report has no printing-split table like our Base Set and Fossil reports: there is no second column to compare. The single-print census above is the entire universe of each card.
It also makes a clean fraud test. A listing offering a "1st Edition Skyridge" card — stamped, described, or implied — is mislabeled at best and counterfeit at worst, because the stamp never existed. Walk away. And the rule cuts the other way too: with no cheap Unlimited sibling, the single printing is the scarce printing, which is why the Skyridge investing guide treats these population numbers as the set's whole thesis.
What Is the Rarest Skyridge Card in PSA 10?
The Dewgong #H6, at pop 97 — the lowest exact chain in the set, priced at $884. Modeled counts put two holos lower still — Steelix #H29 at 33† and Moltres #H20 at 45† — and the true rarest Skyridge gem is almost certainly one of the 25 cards with no countable chain at all. That is the Skyridge pattern in one sentence: nobody graded the commons of the rarest set. Among proven counts, the census leader is a card the market treats as a footnote — every PSA 10 Skyridge Dewgong on Earth is worth about $85,748 combined, less than a single Crystal Charizard:

Which Skyridge Cards Are Hardest to Gem?
Gem rate is the other half of a pop report: not how many 10s exist, but what fraction of all submissions earned one. Here Skyridge inverts the 1999 sets — nothing in it is condition-scarce. The hardest card in the set, Crystal Crobat #147, still gems at 9.9%, and Ledian #H14 gems at 22.8% — rates the Base Set holos, grinding along under 1%, can only dream about:
| # | Card | Gem rate | PSA 10s / total graded | PSA 10 price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Crobat (Secret) #147 | 9.9% | 100 / 1,009 | $4,680 |
| 2 | | 2003 Skyridge Flareon (Holo) #H7 | 10.2% | 101 / 995 | $1,380 |
| 3 | | 2003 Skyridge Vaporeon (Holo) #H31 | 10.6% | 115 / 1,080 | $3,000 |
| 4 | | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Charizard (Secret) #146 | 15.1% | 250 / 1,653 | $102,000 |
| 5 | | 2003 Skyridge Dewgong (Holo) #H6 | 15.2% | 97 / 637 | $884 |
| 6 | | 2003 Skyridge Articuno (Holo) #H3 | 16.6% | 149 / 899 | $9,600 |
| 7 | | 2003 Skyridge Poliwrath (Holo) #H24 | 18.1% | 135 / 745 | $3,945 |
| 8 | | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Celebi (Secret) #145 | 18.7% | 218 / 1,166 | $24,600 |
| 9 | | 2003 Skyridge Crystal Golem (Secret) #148 | 18.8% | 258 / 1,370 | $4,320 |
| 10 | | 2003 Skyridge Ledian (Holo) #H14 | 22.8% | 137 / 602 | $2,160 |
The consequence: per submission, a raw Skyridge holo is one of the best grading bets of the WOTC era — the PSA 10 value calculator turns any of these gem rates into expected value. The catch is the denominator. Crystal Crobat's 9.9% comes from 1,009 gradings ever; most of the H-holo run never cleared the threshold for a resolvable chain. When raw copies are this scarce, a friendly gem rate stops being an opportunity and becomes a description of the past.
Is Skyridge Scarcity Priced In?
Only where the census is legible — and the spread is the most useful table on this page. Price divided by PSA 10 population is what the market pays per unit of gem supply:
| Card | PSA 10 price | PSA 10 pop | Price per pop unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2003 Skyridge Crystal Charizard (Secret) #146 | $102,000 | 250 | $408 |
| 2003 Skyridge Crystal Celebi (Secret) #145 | $24,600 | 218 | $113 |
| 2003 Skyridge Articuno (Holo) #H3 | $9,600 | 149 | $64 |
| 2003 Skyridge Crystal Crobat (Secret) #147 | $4,680 | 100 | $47 |
| 2003 Skyridge Poliwrath (Holo) #H24 | $3,945 | 135 | $29 |
| 2003 Skyridge Vaporeon (Holo) #H31 | $3,000 | 115 | $26 |
The Crystal Charizard costs $408 per unit of supply despite owning the deepest count in the set — attention, not census data, sets the price. The pop-97 Dewgong costs $9 per unit. And the two H-holo trophies — the $52,800 Umbreon #H30 and the $36,999Gengar #H9 — do not appear in the table at all, because neither has a resolvable chain: the market is paying trophy prices for cards whose supply nobody can prove. The census's honest middle is the Crystal Celebi — pop 218, exact, and a tape that has run from $5,400 last June to the mid-$20,000s today:

Skyridge Pop Report FAQ
How many PSA 10 Crystal Charizards are there?
250 as of the July 2026 GemRate snapshot — an exact chain, from 1,653 total gradings, a 15.1% gem rate. It trades at $102,000 in PSA 10.
What is the rarest Skyridge card in PSA 10?
Among exact chains, the Dewgong #H6 at pop 97. Modeled counts put Steelix #H29 (33†) and Moltres #H20 (45†) lower, and 25 of the 38 tracked cards have no resolvable chain at all — the true rarest Skyridge gem is likely a card nobody can count.
Does Skyridge have 1st Edition cards?
No. No e-Series set — Expedition, Aquapolis, or Skyridge — was ever printed with a 1st Edition run; the stamp ended with the Neo era. Any "1st Edition Skyridge" listing is mislabeled or fraudulent.
Is the PSA pop report free?
PSA's official population report now requires an account login. This page — and the full WOTC pop report it belongs to — is free, exact where GemRate chains resolve, and refreshed monthly.
Trade the census:every population above links to the card's live price page, the Skyridge index prices the whole set daily, the Skyridge set-cost guide turns this census into an itemized bill, the WOTC set-cost guide puts all fifteen baskets side by side, and the live deal feed is where underpriced supply surfaces.
