The collector's take on Ampharos

Is Ampharos worth grading?

Here's the honest answer if you're wondering whether to grade Ampharos: right now we don't have established Grade 9 or PSA 10 prices for this card, which tells you the graded market for it just isn't very active yet. With a raw value sitting at $5, sending a copy off to PSA means paying grading fees that could easily cost more than the card itself, and there's no guarantee it comes back gem mint. Unless you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe and you're grading purely for the love of having it slabbed, it's hard to make the math work here financially. Save grading for cards where the PSA 10 price clearly justifies the risk and cost.

How rare is Ampharos?

As an Ultra Rare in the Ninja Spinner set, Ampharos sits in the upper rarity tier that these Korean-exclusive sets are known for, which naturally limits how many copies were ever printed and pulled compared to the common and uncommon slots. We don't have population data to point to for graded copies, so it's hard to say exactly how rare a gem mint copy is, but Ultra Rares from this era generally aren't sitting in huge supply. That scarcity is part of why even a $5 raw card can carry real upside if the graded market ever catches up.

Where can you pull Ampharos?

This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep: we've tracked Ampharos pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, tilt-rips, and collector-crypt, so we know exactly which pack sites are producing this card in real openings, not just theory. It's shown up in a range of pack types too, including the Pokémon Pro Pack, Novice Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack, so there's no single spot you need to camp on. The biggest recorded pull value we've seen for Ampharos sits at $138, which is a reminder that outcomes vary wildly and most rips won't hit that number. It's a fun card to chase if you enjoy the process, just go in knowing pack opening is a gamble and the $5 raw price is the more realistic outcome most of the time.

Questions people ask

How much is Ampharos worth?+

A raw or ungraded copy of Ampharos is worth about $5 right now. Graded Grade 9 and PSA 10 prices aren't established yet, so most of the value activity you'll see is happening on raw, ungraded copies.

Is Ampharos worth grading?+

With no confirmed PSA 10 or Grade 9 prices and a raw value of just $5, grading is a tough sell financially since fees alone could outweigh what the card is worth. It's really only worth doing if you're grading for personal enjoyment rather than expecting a payoff.

What set is Ampharos from?+

Ampharos is card #88 from the Korean Ninja Spinner set, released in 2015. It's an Ultra Rare illustrated by 5ban Graphics, which gives it that standout look collectors tend to remember.
