Dark Gyarados is card #8 of Celebrations: Classic Collection (2021), a Classic Collection Pokémon, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno.
Dark Gyarados appears in 5 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Celebrations: Classic Collection (2021) #8 card is the most recent of 5 printings (1997–2021). Other Dark Gyarados printings sit at Rare Holo, Rare, Uncommon rarity tiers, so this Classic Collection Celebrations: Classic Collection card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 70 HP, while other Dark Gyarados cards in the catalogue range from 70 to 80 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Dark Gyarados hub page.

“Normally found only in the deep ocean, it has recently been seen in shallow waters as well.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #130
The TCGplayer market price for Dark Gyarados Celebrations: Classic Collection #8 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $5.65 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 10 Pack Dust from the Celebrations: Classic Collection dust pool, which fills as you open Celebrations: Classic Collection packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Dark Gyarados or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
