The collector's take on Alakazam ex
Is Alakazam ex worth grading?
So is Alakazam ex worth grading? At $20 raw and $375 for a PSA 10, you're looking at roughly an 18.8x jump if you land a gem mint copy, and that's a real gap worth paying attention to. The catch is that gem mint is genuinely hard to hit consistently, corners, centering and surface all have to cooperate, and grading fees plus shipping and wait times eat into any profit if the card comes back a Grade 9 instead, which still nets $92, or lower. If you already own the card and think it's sharp, sending it in can make sense, but if you're buying raw copies specifically to gamble on a 10, go in knowing the odds aren't guaranteed and treat it like the calculated risk it is.
How rare is Alakazam ex?
Right now there are 478 total graded copies of Alakazam ex on record, and of those, 375 have come back as PSA 10. That's a notably high share sitting at the top grade, which tells you that when this card grades well, it tends to grade very well, but it also means the population of lower grades is thin by comparison. For collectors, that skew toward PSA 10 is part of why the gem mint price holds strong relative to raw, scarcity at the very top still matters even when the overall pool isn't enormous.
Where can you pull Alakazam ex?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in, since we log real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. Alakazam ex has been pulled 200 or more times across sites we track including tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt and lastpack, and it's shown up in a handful of specific products: Pokemon Mini Pack, Novice Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Anime Pop Culture Gacha and Pokemon Expert Pack. The biggest recorded pull value for this card sits at $358, which gives you a real sense of what a lucky rip can bring versus the $20 raw floor. Just remember that pack pulling is still a gamble at heart, most people who open packs chasing a specific card end up spending more than they get back, so treat any hit as a nice bonus rather than the expected outcome.
Questions people ask
How much is Alakazam ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Alakazam ex #189 from the Chinese 151 Collect set is currently valued around $20. Graded copies are worth significantly more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $92 and a PSA 10 reaching $375, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Alakazam ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 18.8 times the raw price of $20, which is a meaningful jump. That said, gem mint copies aren't guaranteed, and with 375 of the 478 graded copies already coming back as PSA 10, hitting that top grade is achievable but not automatic, so weigh the grading cost against the realistic odds.
How much is a PSA 10 Alakazam ex worth?+
A PSA 10 Alakazam ex #189 is valued at $375, a big step up from the $20 raw price and the $92 Grade 9 price. It's the clearest reward for a card that grades out clean, though only 375 copies out of 478 graded total have reached that mark.
