Is Tropical Tidal Wave HGSS18 worth anything?
We don't have a live market price for this card at the moment. The price you'll get in the UK depends mostly on condition: check the corners, edges and surface, and whether the artwork is well centred. Damaged cards sell for much less, while professionally graded copies in top condition can sell for far more.
