Alakazam #71 value & price

Tap to open
Alakazam has been a fan favorite since the earliest days of Pokemon, and this printing from the Japanese Mega Symphonia set gives collectors another reason to chase it. If you're trying to pin down Alakazam value, the short answer is that it sits in that approachable, fun-to-collect range rather than the eye-watering end of the hobby, with raw copies going for $5 and graded ones climbing from there. It's the kind of card people pick up because they love the character, then start wondering what a really clean copy could be worth.

The collector's take on Alakazam
Is Alakazam worth grading?
So is Alakazam worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $5, a Grade 9 sits at $20, and a PSA 10 comes in at $47, which works out to roughly 9.4x the raw price. That jump looks tempting, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into that gap, and gem mint 10s are genuinely tough to land since centering, edges, and surface all have to cooperate. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand and you're patient, grading can make sense. If it's a beat-up pull from a pack, it's probably more fun to keep raw or trade than to gamble grading fees on it.
How rare is Alakazam?
There's no official population data published for this particular Alakazam, so it's worth thinking about it in general terms. Japanese sets like Mega Symphonia typically print in numbers that keep single cards accessible rather than scarce, which lines up with what we see in the market: a raw price of $5 and a PSA 10 price of $47 tell you this isn't a card people are fighting over at the top end. That doesn't mean gem mint copies are common, though. Fewer collectors bother sending lower-value cards in for grading, so a genuinely pristine PSA 10 still takes some hunting even if the overall print run wasn't tiny.
Where can you pull Alakazam?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. Alakazam has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, lastpack, and gachapull, so it's a card that shows up with real regularity if you're opening online packs. We've also seen it turn up in the Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Novice Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore. The biggest recorded pull value for this card sits at $202, which is a nice reminder that even a common-ish hit can land well above its normal price on the right day. Just remember that pack opening is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come out ahead, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Alakazam worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Alakazam from Mega Symphonia is worth about $5. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $20 and a PSA 10 reaching $47.
Is Alakazam worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. Since a PSA 10 is worth about 9.4x the raw price, grading a genuinely clean copy can pay off, but gem mint 10s are hard to hit and grading fees add real risk if the card isn't sharp to begin with.
How much is a PSA 10 Alakazam worth?+
A PSA 10 Alakazam is currently valued at $47, which is roughly 9.4 times the raw price of $5. It's a solid jump, but landing a true gem mint copy is the hard part.
