About this printing

As of Nov 11, 2026, a 1st Edition Lt. Surge's Raticate 53/132 from Gym Challenge sells for about $5.99 ungraded, the median of its 17 sales in the last 90 days, and $39.60 in CGC 10 (3 sales in the last 90 days). That is 2.6× the Unlimited print at $2.29.

A 1st Edition card has the black “Edition 1” stamp just below the bottom-left corner of the artwork. Unlimited copies have no stamp. The ungraded price mixes conditions (copies listed as played are left out), because 1st Edition copies rarely sell often enough to split them; the recent sales below show what each copy was listed as.

Lt. Surge's Raticate is card 53 in the Gym Challenge price guide. See every Raticate card with prices.

Every sale here was matched to this exact card: the right number, set, printing and language, one card per listing, raw kept apart from graded. Where a venue sells by card and gives no listing title to check, the row says the venue named the card. Listings we can’t be sure of are left out. A price marked ≤ is an asking price, not a confirmed sale. On an accepted best offer we show what the buyer paid, not the asking price; where that isn’t on record the asking price is shown as a ceiling and never counts towards the price. A sale marked unusual is far from that grade’s market price: it stays on the record, and is left out of this page’s latest-sale and comparison figures. Sales record updated Nov 11, 2026.
