Question 1

Is Butterfree worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here is the honest answer on whether Butterfree is worth grading: a raw copy runs $9, a Grade 9 jumps to $76, and a PSA 10 sits at $470, which works out to about 53.5 times the raw price. That is a real jump, no question. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit here, only 473 of the 2,935 graded copies have made it to PSA 10, so plenty of submissions land at Grade 9 or lower. Before you send one in, weigh the grading fees and turnaround time against what your copy actually looks like in hand. Centering and edges matter a lot on Jungle cards from this era, and a coin flip result can mean you end up with a Grade 9 worth $76 rather than the $470 payoff you were hoping for.

Question 2

How rare is Butterfree?

Accepted Answer

Across every grading company submission on record, Butterfree has a population of 2,935 graded copies, and only 473 of those sit at the PSA 10 level. That tells you two things at once: this is not an ultra rare card in raw form, plenty of copies exist, but the top grade is genuinely scarce relative to the total pool. That gap between total population and gem mint population is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw price. Scarcity at the top end, not scarcity overall, is what drives the Butterfree price once you start comparing grades.

Question 3

Where can you pull Butterfree?

Accepted Answer

PackSpy has tracked Butterfree being pulled 91 times across five different pack sites: collector-crypt, lastpack, tilt-rips, courtyard, and mnstr. It has turned up in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, noobie, Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pack 5, and the biggest recorded pull value we have logged for it is $452. That is the kind of cross-site pull history a price guide simply cannot give you, since it comes from watching real openings happen rather than estimating. Worth remembering though, pack opening is gambling by nature and most rips do not come out ahead, so treat any pull as a nice surprise rather than something to bank on.

Question 4

How much is Butterfree worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Butterfree is worth $9 right now. Once you factor in grading, a Grade 9 sits at $76 and a PSA 10 reaches $470, so condition really does most of the talking when it comes to Butterfree value.

Question 5

Is Butterfree worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 53.5 times the raw price of $9. But only 473 of the 2,935 graded copies have hit that top grade, so it is worth being realistic about your card's centering and edges before you pay to submit it.

Question 6

Why is the Butterfree 1st Edition #33 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

First edition prints come from the original Jungle print run and carry that stamp collectors specifically look for, which tends to make them more sought after than later prints of the same card. Combined with the population data showing how few copies exist at the highest grades, that early print status is a big part of why this specific version holds the value it does.

Grade	Value	Population	PSA / CGC
PSA 10 (Gem Mint)	$437	475	401 / 74
PSA 9	$62	1,104	928 / 176
PSA 8	$32	755	513 / 242
PSA 7	$30	285	204 / 81
PSA 6	$21	156	119 / 37
PSA 5	$19	95	63 / 32
PSA 4	$16	43	31 / 12
PSA 3	$14	25	16 / 9
PSA 2	$13	6	6 / -
PSA 1	$22	5	5 / -
Raw / Ungraded	$10	-	-
