Question 1

Is Banette worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Banette worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A raw, ungraded copy sits at $1, while a PSA 10 gem mint jumps all the way up to $36, which works out to about 27.1x the raw price. A Grade 9 lands in the middle at $12. That's a real spread, but remember that grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into your margin, and hitting that flawless PSA 10 isn't guaranteed even if the card looks perfect to your eye. For a card at this price point, grading makes more sense if you already love the card and want it protected, rather than purely chasing profit.

Question 2

How rare is Banette?

Accepted Answer

We don't have official population numbers for Banette at PSA 10 or Grade 9 yet, so it's hard to say exactly how many gem mint copies are floating around. What we can say is that Chinese Gem Pack releases tend to have smaller print runs and less grading traffic than mainstream English sets, which naturally keeps the pool of graded copies tighter. That kind of scarcity doesn't always mean a huge price jump, but it does mean fewer copies changing hands, which matters if you're holding onto one long term.

Question 3

Where can you pull Banette?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's tracking really earns its keep. We've recorded Banette Pokeball #702 pulled 37 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $110. It's shown up in packs like the Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack. That's genuinely useful if you're trying to decide where to spend your pack-opening budget, since these are real pulls from real openings, not guesses. Just keep in mind that opening packs is a gamble at heart, and most rips won't cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

Question 4

How much is Banette worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Banette Pokeball #702 is valued at $1 right now. Its worth climbs with grading, so the condition and certification really do change the picture here.

Question 5

Is Banette worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your goals. The jump from $1 raw to $36 for a PSA 10 is about 27.1x, which sounds great, but grading costs and the difficulty of pulling a true gem mint copy mean it's not a sure profit, more of a personal call.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Banette worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 graded Banette Pokeball #702 is worth $36, compared to $12 for a Grade 9 and $1 raw. That gap shows just how much a clean, gem mint grade can matter for this card.
