Question 1

Is Carmine worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's where it gets interesting: a raw Carmine runs $85, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $3,942, which works out to about 46.2 times the raw price. That's a serious multiplier, and it's the kind of number that gets people reaching for grading submission forms. But there's a wrinkle worth knowing before you send yours in: a Grade 9 copy is actually valued at $7,591, higher than the PSA 10 figure. That's unusual, and it means the grading math on Carmine isn't as simple as 'higher grade, higher price.' Grading takes time, costs money, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, so weigh the real numbers here rather than assuming a 10 is always the goal. If your copy already looks clean and sharp, it's worth exploring, just go in with eyes open.

Question 2

How rare is Carmine?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading companies, 14,200 copies of Carmine have been graded, and of those, 4,284 have earned a PSA 10. That means roughly three in ten graded copies hit gem mint, which is a fairly high rate for a card this sought after. It tells you Carmine isn't impossibly rare in top grade, but it's still a meaningful population to climb into, and every graded copy adds context to what the next one might be worth.

Question 3

Where can you pull Carmine?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we don't just quote a price guide, we track real pulls happening across pack sites in real time. Carmine has been pulled 73 times in our records, showing up across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, and courtyard. The biggest recorded pull value for this card sits at $175, which gives you a sense of how the market has actually paid for it outside of grading. If you're hoping to pull one yourself, keep an eye on Pokemon Dime Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, since those are where we've seen Carmine surface. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't beat what you paid in, so chase Carmine because it's fun to hunt, not because it's a sure bet.

Question 4

How much is Carmine worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Carmine is valued at $85. Once graded, the value shifts quite a bit, with a Grade 9 sitting at $7,591 and a PSA 10 at $3,942, so condition and grading really do change the picture here.

Question 5

Is Carmine worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 46.2 times the raw price. That said, Grade 9 copies are actually valued even higher at $7,591, so it's worth understanding both outcomes before you submit, along with the usual grading costs and wait times.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Carmine worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Carmine is valued at $3,942. Out of 14,200 total graded copies, 4,284 have reached that gem mint grade, so it's an achievable but genuinely competitive tier to land in.
