Question 1

Is Butterfree worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Butterfree sits around $4, a Grade 9 climbs to $40, and a PSA 10 is sitting at $835, which works out to about 221.5 times what the raw card is worth. That's a big jump, and it's the kind of number that gets people excited about grading. But slow down for a second: out of 218 graded copies on record, only 41 have made it to that PSA 10 gem mint tier. So while the reward is real, hitting it isn't a given, and you're paying grading fees either way, win or lose. If your copy already looks sharp with clean edges and centering, it's worth a shot. If it's got soft corners or print lines, save your money and let it stay raw.

Question 2

How rare is Butterfree?

Accepted Answer

Scarcity is really where this card's story gets interesting. There are only 218 total graded copies of Butterfree out there, and of those, just 41 have earned a PSA 10. That means fewer than one in five graded copies reach gem mint condition, which tells you grading this one clean is genuinely tough, whether that's the card stock, the print run, or just the way Jungle cards tend to age. That kind of population data is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers. Scarcity at the top is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.

Question 3

Where can you pull Butterfree?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we've recorded Butterfree pulled 51 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, and mnstr, with the biggest single pull coming in at $67. It's shown up in a mix of packs including the Pokémon Basic Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and the Wildcard Starter Pack. So it's not some rare needle in a haystack, but it's also not guaranteed in every rip. Worth remembering too that opening packs is a gamble by nature, most openings don't come out ahead, so treat any pull of Butterfree as a nice bonus rather than something to bank on.

Question 4

How much is Butterfree worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Butterfree is valued around $4, a Grade 9 copy runs about $40, and a PSA 10 sits at $835. The price climbs fast once a card hits gem mint condition, which is part of what makes grading tempting for collectors.

Question 5

Is Butterfree worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 221.5 times the raw price. But only 41 out of 218 graded copies have hit that PSA 10 mark, so it's not a sure thing, and grading fees add up whether you hit gem mint or not. If your copy already looks sharp, it's a reasonable bet.
