Articuno EX — collector's take
Is Articuno EX worth grading?
Here is the honest math on Articuno EX worth: a raw copy books at $9, a Grade 9 comes in around $70, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $780, which works out to about 89.1 times the raw price. That is a genuinely big multiplier, and it is tempting. But gem mint is not easy to land, especially on a card like this where edges and centering get picked apart by graders, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time are real costs you eat whether the card comes back a 10 or not. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe, sending it in can make sense. If it has soft corners or a scratch you are hoping nobody notices, you are better off keeping it raw or selling as is rather than gambling the grading fee away.
How rare is it?
Across every copy that has ever been submitted, only 603 have come back graded, and of those just 64 earned a PSA 10. That is a pretty tight ceiling. It tells you that even among people who cared enough to grade this card, gem mint condition is the exception, not the rule, and that scarcity is exactly what keeps pushing the PSA 10 price so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in, since we log real pulls across live pack sites rather than just guessing. We have recorded Articuno EX pulled 6 times, all on tilt-rips, with the biggest single pull landing at $1,230. It has shown up in Tilt Treasure, the Pokemon Ultimate Pack, and the Pokemon Grandmaster Pack. That said, six recorded pulls is not a lot, so most people who own this card bought it on the secondary market rather than ripped it themselves. Worth remembering too that opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips do not come close to that $1,230 high.
