2005 Pokémon Japanese EX: Holon Research Tower - Dragonite Holo #039/086 1st Edition - PSA 10 Gem Mint

The Dragonite Holo #039/086 from the 2005 Japanese EX: Holon Research Tower expansion is one of the most sought-after cards in the entire EX era Japanese catalogue, and its PSA 10 Gem Mint graded value reflects exactly that. Released exclusively in Japan in 2005 as part of the Diamond and Pearl transition era, Holon Research Tower is a set built around the fictional Holon region introduced in the Pokémon TCG's own expanded lore, featuring a lineup of Delta Species Pokémon that reimagined classic fan favourites with new type combinations and reimagined artwork.

Dragonite sits at card #039/086 in the set, one of its most visually commanding Holo Rare slots, rendered with the distinctive Delta Species border treatment that makes EX era Japanese cards so instantly recognisable to collectors. 

This listing is for a PSA 10 Gem Mint graded copy, certified by Professional Sports Authenticator. The Holon Research Tower set also features two of the most valuable Pokémon Star cards in the EX era, Kyogre Star and Metagross Star, making Dragonite's Holo slot a meaningful pull in a set with genuine depth across its rarity tiers.

Why This Card?

A PSA 10 premium of nearly +5,600% above raw is one of the highest condition multipliers in the entire EX era Japanese catalogue, driven by the combination of Dragonite's enduring fan favourite status and the extraordinary difficulty of grading 20-year-old EX era holofoil cards at the 10 level. The 1st Edition stamp further separates this copy from unlimited prints, and with only a handful of PSA 10 copies confirmed in the population report, the supply ceiling is genuine.
