Dragonite Sales Confirmed on the Auction Lot Page

These are lots whose Goldin or Fanatics Collect page we opened. Team Rocket and EX Dragon PSA 10s have also sold at Goldin for $17,080 or more, per PriceCharting (below).

1. Dragonite #9 holo, Expedition (2002): $55,244

• Sale: PSA 10, cert 84029509, Goldin, June 2026, $45,282 hammer plus 22% premium, 21 bids
• Also reported: ComicBook.com covered it as a record on June 20, 2026
• Why it matters: Expedition is an e-Card era set. When Goldin listed this lot, PSA had graded more than 2,180 copies and fewer than 2 percent were PSA 10s, per the lot description. ComicBook.com put the card's prior record at just under $30,000

2. Dragonite #4 holo 1st Edition, Fossil (1999): $17,690 confirmed, $45,600 reported

• Confirmed lot: PSA 10, Goldin, August 2026, $14,500 hammer plus premium, 19 bids

• Why it matters: the original Dragonite holo. A PSA 10 sold for $5,160 at Fanatics Collect in February 2025, so the price has multiplied in under two years. See our first edition Pokémon cards guide for what the stamp means

How to Tell Which Dragonite You Have

Fossil holo: card 4/62. The 1st Edition stamp sits on the left under the art box. Unlimited copies sell for far less.

Expedition: card 9/165, from Wizards of the Coast's e-Card era. The holo and reverse holo are different cards with different prices. The non-holo rare is #43.

Dark Dragonite: Team Rocket #5 and Legendary Collection #5 share a number. Check the set symbol, and on Legendary Collection, whether it is the holo or the reverse holo with foil across the card body. Team Rocket also has a non-holo Dark Dragonite #22, and EX Team Rocket Returns has its own Dark Dragonite #15.

Gold Star: there is no English Gold Star Dragonite in the TCGdex card database. The EX Dragon Frontiers card is Dragonite ex δ #91.
