The collector's take on Ampharos
Is Ampharos worth grading?
So, is Ampharos worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A raw, ungraded copy sits at $5, and a PSA 10 brings that up to $50, which lines up with the 9.9x multiplier that PSA 10s tend to command on this card. That's a real jump on paper, but grading isn't free, and it isn't guaranteed. You're paying submission fees and waiting on turnaround time, all for a shot at gem mint, and plenty of copies come back as a Grade 9 instead, which lands at $22. If your copy already looks clean and sharp under a light, it might be worth the gamble. If it has any soft corners or print lines, you may just want to enjoy it raw and save the grading fee for a better candidate.
How rare is Ampharos?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 890 graded copies of Ampharos on record, and out of those, 629 have come back as PSA 10. That's actually a pretty high share landing at the top grade, which tells you this particular card isn't brutally difficult to get through grading in gem mint condition once you have a clean copy in hand. It also means the real scarcity isn't so much in finding a PSA 10, it's in finding a copy worth submitting in the first place, since so many raw copies floating around probably aren't graded at all.
Where can you pull Ampharos?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. Ampharos has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, mnstr and collector-crypt, so it's a card that does show up with some regularity if you're opening packs on those platforms. It's turned up in the Novice Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokémon Master Pack and Pack 3, and the biggest single pull we've recorded for it hit $1,279, which shows how much variance there can be depending on the copy's condition and the moment it was pulled. Just remember, opening packs is gambling in the end, and most rips don't come close to that kind of number, so treat it as entertainment first and profit second.
Questions people ask
How much is Ampharos worth?+
A raw, ungraded Ampharos #88 from the Ninja Spinner set is valued at $5. Once graded, the price climbs depending on the grade, with a Grade 9 at $22 and a PSA 10 at $50. So the honest answer depends entirely on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Ampharos worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is genuinely clean, since a PSA 10 sits at 9.9x the raw price. But grading costs money and time, and plenty of copies only reach a Grade 9 at $22 rather than the top grade, so it's worth being realistic about your copy's condition first.
How much is a PSA 10 Ampharos worth?+
A PSA 10 Ampharos is worth $50, reflecting the roughly 9.9x jump over the raw card's $5 value. Out of 890 total graded copies on record, 629 have earned that PSA 10 grade, which gives you a sense of how attainable gem mint really is for this one.
