The collector's take on Armored Mewtwo #SM228
Is Armored Mewtwo #SM228 worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw copy of Armored Mewtwo #SM228 runs $171, but a PSA 10 sells for $9,375, which works out to 54.8 times the ungraded price. That gap is enormous, and it's exactly why so many collectors ask if grading is worth it. The catch is that gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, only 298 of the 5,865 graded copies have earned that perfect 10, so plenty of submissions land at Grade 9 instead, where the card is worth $669. Before you send one in, factor in grading fees, turnaround time, and the real chance your card comes back a 9 rather than a 10. If the centering and surface look flawless under a loupe, it can absolutely pay off. If you're on the fence, it might be smarter to sell raw or hold until you're confident in the copy.
How rare is Armored Mewtwo #SM228?
With 5,865 total graded copies on record, Armored Mewtwo #SM228 isn't an ultra rare needle in a haystack, but the top end is where things tighten up fast. Only 298 of those graded copies have reached PSA 10, which is a small slice of the overall population. That scarcity at the gem mint level is a big reason the PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else, when only a small fraction of graded cards hit perfect condition, buyers are willing to pay a real premium to own one of them.
Where can you pull Armored Mewtwo #SM228?
PackSpy has tracked 26 recorded pulls of Armored Mewtwo #SM228 across collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest single pull landing at $1,380. It's shown up in a handful of pack types, including the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Ultra (Spicy), Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. That's genuinely useful information no price guide gives you, real pull data across live sites rather than just a listed market price. Worth saying plainly though, opening packs chasing a card like this is gambling, most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
