The collector's take on Alakazam ex
Is Alakazam ex worth grading?
So is Alakazam ex worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy sits at $63, while a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $346, which works out to about 5.5 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, centering, edge wear and surface flaws on illustration rares like this one can knock a card down to a Grade 9, which only brings $86. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're taking on real risk for a card that has to come back essentially flawless to make the jump worth it. If you've pulled or bought a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or a slight print line, you may just want to enjoy it raw.
How rare is Alakazam ex?
Across all grading services combined, there are 38,230 graded copies of Alakazam ex on record, and of those, 11,891 have earned the perfect PSA 10 label. That's not a tiny number, this is a popular card from a popular set, so plenty of collectors have sent copies in. But it also means roughly two out of every three graded copies fall short of gem mint, which is exactly why that PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 tiers. Scarcity here isn't about the card being rare to pull, it's about how hard it is to get a truly perfect one back from the grader.
Where can you pull Alakazam ex?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in, and it's the kind of thing you won't find in a standard price guide. We've tracked Alakazam ex being pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, courtyard and lastpack, so this is a card that genuinely shows up in the wild, not just on secondary market listings. The biggest recorded pull we've logged came in at $545, a nice reminder of what's possible when a hot pull lands. We've seen it turn up in the Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, so if you're chasing this one, those are the products worth keeping an eye on. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't cover their cost, so treat any pull like this as a nice surprise rather than an expectation.
