The collector's take on Banette EX
Is Banette EX worth grading?
So is Banette EX worth grading? Honestly, it's a mixed bag here, and I want to be straight with you about it. A raw copy is worth $80, a PSA 10 comes in at $45, and a Grade 9 actually sits above both at $165. That's not the usual pattern you see with older cards, where a gem mint copy commands the biggest premium. Here, the PSA 10 is worth about 0.6x the raw card, which means sending off a near perfect copy and getting back a 10 could genuinely lose you money once you factor in grading fees and the wait. If your card looks like a strong 9, that's actually the sweet spot on this one. Grading is never free and it's never guaranteed, so weigh the cost against what you're likely to get back before you seal that envelope.
How rare is it?
Across every grading company combined, only 671 copies of Banette EX have been graded, and just 58 of those hold a PSA 10. That's a fairly tight population for a card that's been around since 2006, and it tells you most copies out there either haven't been graded or didn't come back gem mint. Scarcity at the very top end usually pushes prices up, but as we've seen with the Grade 9 pricing above the PSA 10 here, the market doesn't always follow the population numbers in a straight line. It's a good reminder that rarity and price don't always move together.
Where to pull it
We've tracked this card being pulled 2 times across the sites we monitor, both from courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $31. It's also been spotted in the Pokémon Starter Pack, so if you're chasing this one from a fresh box, that's where your best odds have historically been. Realistically though, Banette EX isn't a card that shows up often in modern pack breaks, and most collectors end up buying it directly rather than pulling it. That's worth knowing before you spend money hoping to open one, since pack odds are always a gamble and most rips don't cover their cost.
Questions people ask
How much is Banette EX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Banette EX is worth $80 right now. Graded copies vary more than you'd expect, with a Grade 9 fetching $165 and a PSA 10 coming in lower at $45, so condition and grading company matter a lot here.
Is Banette EX worth grading?+
It depends on what grade you're likely to hit. A PSA 10 is only worth about 0.6x the raw price at $45, so a perfect grade doesn't guarantee a profit once fees are factored in. A Grade 9 at $165 is actually the strongest outcome on paper, so if your copy has a small flaw, grading can still make sense.
What set is Banette EX from?+
Banette EX #85 comes from the Legend Maker set, released in 2006. It's a Rare card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, and with only 671 graded copies known to exist, it's not one you see flooding the market.
