Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 27 Aug 2026Related Articuno & chase cards
Tap to openArticuno is one of those Supreme Victors pulls that still makes people stop and look twice, that icy blue legendary bird rendered by Toshinao Aoki in a way that just feels right for the card. It came out back in 2009 as a Rare in the Supreme Victors set, and while it never carried the flashiest rarity tag on paper, the Articuno value has held up because collectors genuinely love this bird. If you are trying to figure out Articuno's price today, the short answer is it depends heavily on condition, and that is exactly what we will walk through.

The collector's take on Articuno
Is Articuno worth grading?
Here is the honest math: a raw, ungraded Articuno sits around $205, a Grade 9 jumps to $1,268, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is sitting at $12,387, which works out to about 60.5 times what the raw card sells for. That is a real gap, and it is tempting to think every copy in your binder is a hidden PSA 10. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a 2009 card that has likely seen some handling over the years, corners and edges get soft, centering shifts, and grading companies are picky. Add in the grading fee itself plus the wait time, and you are taking a real gamble sending in a card that might come back a 9 instead of a 10. If you have a copy that looks sharp under a light, clean corners, no whitening, it might be worth the shot, but go in knowing the odds and the cost, not just the payout.
How rare is Articuno?
Right now there are 1,567 total graded copies of Articuno on record, and of those, only 43 have earned that coveted PSA 10 label. When you sit with those numbers for a second, it becomes clear just how thin the air is at the top. Out of over fifteen hundred graded cards, less than three percent made it to gem mint condition, which tells you PSA 10 Articuno copies are not just rare, they are genuinely hard to find, and that scarcity is a big part of why the price sits where it does.
Where can you pull Articuno?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pack rips across sites instead of just quoting a price guide. Articuno has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, packz, courtyard, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $930. We have seen it turn up in packs like the Tilt Ticket, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Expert++, Pokemon Premium Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack. So if you are chasing this bird by opening packs, those are the names worth watching, though remember that pack opening is inherently a gamble and most rips do not come close to covering what you spent.

A raw, ungraded Articuno from Supreme Victors is worth around $205. Once graded, the value climbs fast, with a Grade 9 sitting at $1,268 and a PSA 10 reaching $12,387. So the real Articuno price depends a lot on condition and whether it has been graded.
Is Articuno worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 60.5 times the raw price, but gem mint copies are genuinely rare, only 43 out of 1,567 graded copies have hit that grade. Weigh the grading fee and wait time against the realistic chance your copy grades that high before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Articuno worth?+
A PSA 10 Articuno is currently valued at $12,387, making it by far the most valuable version of this card. That is a big jump from the raw $205 price, which is why gem mint copies get so much attention from collectors.
