Tap to open
Articuno #102 is the frozen legendary bird from the Korean Battle Partners set, and it has that quiet, icy charm that makes collectors stop scrolling. It is not a chase card that breaks records, but it is a fun one to pull and a fun one to own, and if you are here looking up Articuno value, the short answer is that it sits in accessible territory rather than grail territory. That said, the jump between a raw copy and a well graded one still tells an interesting story, which is what we will walk through below.

The collector's take on Articuno
Is Articuno worth grading?
Here is the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Articuno #102 runs about $7, a Grade 9 climbs to $35, and a true gem mint PSA 10 sits at $59, which works out to roughly 8.2 times the raw price. That multiple looks tempting on paper, but grading costs money and time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back a 10. Centering, edge wear, and surface scratches from handling can all knock a card down a grade, and once you factor in grading fees, a Grade 9 result might barely break even. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe and you are patient enough to wait on turnaround, grading Articuno can make sense. If it is a casual pull with soft corners, it is probably happier staying raw and enjoyed as is.
How rare is Articuno?
We do not have exact population numbers on record for Articuno #102 in either grade, so it is hard to say precisely how many gem mint copies exist out there. What we can say is that its price spread between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 suggests it is not an ultra rare pull, but pristine copies are still genuinely harder to come by than people expect once you account for how packs get handled before they even reach a buyer. Scarcity at the top grade is really about survival, not just print numbers, and that is part of why a PSA 10 commands nearly 8.2 times what a raw card does even on a modestly priced card like this one.
Where can you pull Articuno?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across live pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. Articuno #102 has been pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and mnstr, so it is far from a phantom card, it shows up with real regularity. We have also seen it turn up in products like the Pokémon Starter Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the Pokémon Pro Pack. Worth noting too, our biggest recorded pull tied to this card hit $930, a good reminder that pack odds swing wildly and most rips do not pay for themselves, so treat opening packs as entertainment first and a value play second.
Questions people ask
How much is Articuno worth?+
A raw, ungraded Articuno #102 from the Korean Battle Partners set is worth about $7. That number moves up quickly once a card gets graded, which is really where the bigger Articuno value conversation starts.
Is Articuno worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is already clean and centered well. A Grade 9 sits at $35 and a PSA 10 reaches $59, roughly 8.2 times the raw price, but grading fees and the risk of a lower grade coming back mean it is not a guaranteed win for every copy.
How much is a PSA 10 Articuno worth?+
A PSA 10, gem mint Articuno #102 is valued at $59, compared to $7 raw and $35 for a Grade 9. That gap shows just how much a perfect grade can add, even on a card that is not considered ultra rare.
