The collector's take on Archaludon ex
Is Archaludon ex worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Right now a raw copy sits at $13, a Grade 9 goes for $18, and a PSA 10 commands $57, which works out to about 4.4 times the raw price. That's a real jump, but you have to be honest with yourself about the condition of your card before you send it in. Surging Sparks cards can be tricky with edge wear and print lines, so a true gem mint copy isn't guaranteed just because it looks clean to the naked eye. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time, and grading only makes sense if your copy is genuinely sharp, corners, surface, centering, the whole package. If it's got any soft spots, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is it?
We don't have official population numbers to point to here, but Archaludon ex's rarity tier as an ex card from a modern main set tells its own story. These cards were printed in large enough numbers that raw copies stay accessible, which is exactly why the price gap between raw and PSA 10 matters so much. Gem mint copies are always the minority of what gets submitted, since modern cardstock shows wear easily and centering issues are common straight from the pack. That scarcity at the top end is what keeps PSA 10 pricing well above the raw and Grade 9 tiers.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we don't just guess at value, we record actual pulls across pack opening sites. Archaludon ex has been pulled 19 times so far, all recorded on courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $44. We've seen it turn up in Pokémon Starter Pack and Pokémon Pro Pack specifically, so if you're chasing this one, those are the products worth watching. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble by nature, most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a nice bonus rather than something to count on.

Is Archaludon ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 4.4 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are genuinely hard to hit, so only send in copies that look sharp in hand, otherwise the grading fee may not pay off.
