The collector's take on Alolan Ninetales GX
Is Alolan Ninetales GX worth grading?
So is it worth sending this one in? A PSA 10 comes in at $487, which is right around 7.0 times what you'd get for a raw copy, and that gap is real money if you land the grade. The catch is landing it. Gem mint on a secret rare like this means flawless edges, centering and surface, and Lost Thunder cards from 2018 have had plenty of years to pick up whitening or minor handling wear that keeps them out of that top tier. A Grade 9 still nets you $124, which isn't nothing, but it's a fraction of what a perfect 10 pulls in. Grading costs money and time no matter the outcome, so really look at your copy under good light before you commit. If it looks clean to the eye already, it's probably worth the gamble. If you're seeing soft corners or print lines, you might just be paying to confirm what you already suspected.
How rare is Alolan Ninetales GX?
We don't have full population data to lean on here, but secret rares from Lost Thunder were always a chase in their own right, printed as the rare pull at the tail end of the set's number run rather than the norm. That positioning alone keeps raw supply tighter than your average holo, and PSA 10s of any 2018 secret rare are inherently harder to come by simply because the card has had six years or so to circulate, get handled, get loved a little too much. Scarcity here isn't about a tiny print run so much as it is about time working against clean surfaces, and that's exactly what pushes the price gap between raw and graded copies as wide as it is.
Where can you pull Alolan Ninetales GX?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually tells you something a price guide can't. We've recorded Alolan Ninetales GX pulled 3 times across the sites we monitor, all on lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull value coming in at $2. It's also shown up in packs labeled rookie, noobie and starter. Honestly, that tells you this card isn't a common hit anywhere, and the pull values we've logged are a good reminder that ripping packs is a gamble more often than not, most openings don't come close to covering what you paid in. If you want this card specifically, buying it outright on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route than chasing it through packs.
