Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 12 Aug 2026Related Blaziken VMAX & chase cards
Tap to open
Blaziken VMAX #217 comes out of the Japanese VMAX Climax set, one of those releases collectors still talk about for how loaded it was with chase cards. It's the kind of card people search out specifically for its value, and rightly so, since a raw copy sits at $25 while a PSA 10 climbs all the way to $1,743. That gap alone tells you why so many people ask about Blaziken VMAX price before they decide whether to grade, sell, or just enjoy it in a binder.

The collector's take on Blaziken VMAX
Is Blaziken VMAX worth grading?
Here's the honest answer: yes, grading can pay off, but only if you land the top grade. A PSA 10 is worth 71.1x what the raw card sells for, which is a huge jump, but a Grade 9 only brings $223, a fraction of that gem mint number. That's the risk. Grading fees, shipping, and the wait all cost you regardless of what comes back, and centering or edge wear on VMAX cards can knock a would-be 10 down to a 9 pretty easily. If your copy looks sharp under a light and you've checked the corners closely, it might be worth the shot. If it's got any soft spots, you may be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is Blaziken VMAX?
Across all grading companies, there are 3,052 total graded copies of this card on record, and 2,665 of those are PSA 10s. That's a striking ratio, most graded copies do end up hitting gem mint, which says something about how well made this card generally is when it survives grading. But it also means non-10 copies are the real outliers, and the total population itself is small enough that any high grade copy stays meaningfully scarce in the broader Pokemon market.
Where can you pull Blaziken VMAX?
PackSpy has tracked this card being pulled 4 times across live-opening sites, all from mnstr, appearing in packs like Pack 5 and Pack 1. The biggest pull we've recorded came in at $717, which gives you a real sense of what people are actually hitting when they open, not just what a price guide says it should be worth. Because pulls are recorded so infrequently, most collectors chasing this card end up buying it directly on the secondary market rather than hoping for it in a pack. That's the reality of chasing Japanese VMAX Climax cards: patience and a good marketplace search usually beat pack odds.
Questions people ask
How much is Blaziken VMAX worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy is worth $25, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,743. A Grade 9 lands in between at $223, so condition and grading status make a massive difference in what this card is actually worth.
Is Blaziken VMAX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 71.1x the raw price. But grading is a gamble too, only 2,665 of the 3,052 total graded copies made it to that top grade, so a clean-looking card isn't a guarantee of gem mint.
What set is Blaziken VMAX from?+
Blaziken VMAX #217 comes from the Japanese VMAX Climax set, a release well known among collectors for packing in some seriously desirable chase cards alongside it.
