Card Background & Set Context
Pokemon GO (s10b) released 17 June 2022 as a Japan-exclusive Sword & Shield expansion celebrating the Niantic mobile game's sixth anniversary. The set's signature gimmick is the 'Ditto disguise' mechanic: 16 Common-rarity cards in the main set are printed with a peel-off layer where the surface card (a regular Pokemon like Numel, Bidoof, Magikarp, etc.) hides a Ditto card underneath. The Pokemon GO video game introduced the same disguise mechanic in November 2019 — Ditto would impersonate common wild Pokemon and only reveal itself after capture. The TCG set adapted this into a physical sticker peel, which is non-tournament-legal but loved by collectors. Card 013 is the Numel-side-up disguise; once peeled, the underside is Ditto in Numel's pose. Illustrator Shibuzoh. (the period is part of the credit) handled the disguise art across multiple cards in the set. The s10b print run was substantial — Pokemon GO was a flagship 2022 Japanese release with deep retail allocation — so raw Numel 013 is bulk-common. The collectible value lives in (a) the unpeeled PSA-graded inventory, since peeling destroys gradeability, and (b) collectors building the full 16-card Ditto-disguise sub-set across both JP s10b 013-053 and EN Pokemon GO 013-078.
Investment Analysis
Numel 013 is a Common — base card price unpeeled raw is $2-5 USD, peeled raw shows the Ditto art and trades $8-15. The PSA 10 premium ($113.56) is driven by the unpeeled-slab population constraint: every collector who peels to confirm Ditto removes a card from the gradeable pool, so PSA 10 supply for unpeeled JP 013 will only contract over time. Poke10 reports psa10_volume_30d = 0 — this is a low-liquidity collector-gimmick card, not a trader card. PSA pop data for Numel (Peelable Ditto) 013/071 has not been broken out by PSA as a distinct line item from regular Numel — Poke10 will track once first slabs cross the population report. Grade EV math is unreliable here because (a) the seller must commit a sealed unpeeled copy (no second-chance peek), (b) the Ditto-side art is the visually desirable face but cannot be the graded face. EN counterpart Pokemon GO 013/078 PSA 10 unpeeled trades $80-110 — JP commands a slim premium consistent with smaller Japanese print run. Catalysts: (a) Ditto chase-card meta in the Pokemon GO set means continued peel attrition, (b) Ditto-character collectors building a Pokemon-GO 16-card disguise sub-set typically pay PSA 10 premium for centerpieces. Position sizing: this is a curio holding, not a portfolio anchor.
Risks to Watch
Numel 013 has the typical risks of a single-gimmick collectible. First, low liquidity — Poke10 reports 30d volume = 0; bid-ask spreads can be wide and time-to-sale can stretch weeks. Second, PSA-pop disclosure risk — once PSA breaks out the Peelable Ditto variant as its own pop line item, the headline pop count may surprise to the upside and pressure pricing. Third, Pokemon Company has not reprinted s10b but a Pokemon GO 2 set or anniversary reprint of the disguise gimmick (rumored for Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026) would dilute scarcity narrative. Fourth, JPY reversion 152→130 trims USD value ~15%. Fifth, single-gimmick collector cards are especially vulnerable to changing collector taste — if the Ditto-disguise sub-set falls out of fashion, base-Common floor reasserts ($2-5 raw). Upside: continued peel attrition shrinks unpeeled-graded supply monotonically, and Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026 nostalgia capture lifts all 2022-era JP gimmick cards.

Japanese vs English & Variants
Numel (Peelable Ditto) exists in two regional prints: JP s10b 013/071 (this card) and EN Pokemon GO 013/078 released July 2022 worldwide. EN counterpart PSA 10 unpeeled trades approximately $80-110 USD — JP at $113.56 commands a modest 3-15% premium consistent with smaller Japanese print run and Japan-domestic collector demand. There is also an EN reverse-holo variant (013/078 Reverse Foil) which trades higher than the regular EN Numel due to scarcer pull rate. Within JP there is no Pokemon Center stamped variant, no SR/HR/UR Numel — Numel 013 exists exclusively as the Common Peelable Ditto gimmick card. The 16-card JP Ditto-disguise sub-set (Numel 013, Bidoof 060, Magikarp 022, Aipom 045, Snorlax 040, etc.) all share the same peelable mechanic and similar PSA 10 unpeeled pricing tiers, with chase Pokemon (like Snorlax 040 Ditto) commanding higher premium than common-character disguises (Numel, Bidoof).
Authentication & Cert Verification
Numel 013 unpeeled PSA 10 authentication critical points: (1) the front sticker layer must be intact and unlifted at all four corners — any partial lift breaks the seal and fails PSA 10 surface grade; (2) Numel illustration on the surface should show full Shibuzoh. credit bottom-left and clean Fire-type icon top-right; (3) card stock is standard JP 0.30mm — no holo foil since this is a non-holo Common; (4) PSA flip notes 'Peelable Ditto' or 'Ditto Disguise' designation when graded post-2023; earlier slabs may simply read 'Numel'. (5) Always verify the cert number via PSA online lookup before purchase — counterfeit risk exists for the specific gimmick variants because they command outsized premium over base Common pricing. (6) Reverse-holo and pokemon-center stamp variants do not exist for this card — any seller claiming such is selling a fake or a misidentified EN print. Poke10 only stocks PSA-cert-verified unpeeled slabs.
Risks to Watch
Numel 013 has the typical risks of a single-gimmick collectible. First, low liquidity — Poke10 reports 30d volume = 0; bid-ask spreads can be wide and time-to-sale can stretch weeks.

Fourth, JPY reversion 152→130 trims USD value ~15%. Fifth, single-gimmick collector cards are especially vulnerable to changing collector taste — if the Ditto-disguise sub-set falls out of fashion, base-Common floor reasserts ($2-5 raw). Upside: continued peel attrition shrinks unpeeled-graded supply monotonically, and Pokemon 30th anniversary 2026 nostalgia capture lifts all 2022-era JP gimmick cards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Background reading: general FAQ · how Poke10 sources · shipping & duties · all sets
What is the current PSA 10 price for Numel s10b 013?
Numel (Peelable Ditto) Pokemon GO s10b 013/071 PSA 10 trades $113.56 USD on Poke10's Japan live index. The price reflects unpeeled-slab status; once the Ditto sticker is peeled, the card is no longer PSA-gradeable in original state.
Why is a Common-rarity Numel worth $113?
Numel 013 is a 'Peelable Ditto' gimmick card from the Japanese Pokemon GO (s10b) set — it hides a Ditto sticker underneath. Most pulled copies get peeled by collectors to reveal Ditto, which destroys PSA gradeability. PSA 10 unpeeled inventory only contracts, never expands, so the slab commands a premium far above the $2-5 raw bulk price.
What happens when you peel the Numel card?
The top layer peels away to reveal a Ditto card with the same Numel pose underneath. The peeled card is non-tournament-legal and cannot be PSA-graded as a Numel. Some collectors keep the peeled Ditto-side up as the visually desirable face.
Who illustrated Numel 013?
Shibuzoh. (the period is part of the official credit). Shibuzoh. illustrated multiple Peelable Ditto cards across the s10b Pokemon GO set including Bidoof, Aipom, and Snorlax disguises. Source: TCG Collector + ShogunCards listing, accessed 2026-05-09.
Is the JP Numel 013 worth more than the English version?
Yes, modestly. JP s10b 013/071 PSA 10 unpeeled at $113.56 trades roughly 3-15% above EN Pokemon GO 013/078 PSA 10 unpeeled at $80-110. Premium is smaller than typical JP-vs-EN spreads because the gimmick mechanic itself, not Japan-domestic art exclusivity, drives the value.
How many Peelable Ditto cards exist in the s10b set?
16 Peelable Ditto cards across the s10b main set, each disguising Ditto as a different common Pokemon (Numel, Bidoof, Magikarp, Aipom, Snorlax, etc.). The full 16-card JP disguise sub-set is a popular collector goal.
Should I peel my Numel 013?
From an investment standpoint, no — peeling permanently disqualifies the card from PSA grading and collapses value from $113 PSA 10 territory to $8-15 peeled raw. From a collector standpoint, peeling gives you the Ditto-side-up art, which some collectors prefer. Trade-off is irreversible.
