Articuno #22 FAQs: Price, Grading & Collecting

Answers about Articuno #22 from Wizards Black Star Promos — live market value, pull rates, PSA grading returns and tournament legality.

Over the last 30 days, an ungraded Articuno has moved down 1.1% to $19.74. PSA 10 copies are down 5.5% over the same period.

Articuno #22 is a Promo, one of the higher rarity tiers in Wizards Black Star Promos.

At $19.74 raw, you need a PSA 10 to profit. A PSA 10 sells for $204.75, giving a net return of +$130.39 after grading costs and selling fees. PSA 9 returns +$25.00 and PSA 8 returns −$16.04, so a PSA 9 or 10 can profit, while anything below that loses money on this card.

PSA have graded 515 copies of Articuno #22, of which 226 came back as PSA 10. That is a gem rate of 43.9%, or roughly 1 in 2.3 graded copies.

No. At a 43.9% gem rate, Articuno grades better than the Wizards Black Star Promos average by 20.7 points. Most submitted copies come back clean.
