Carvanha Reverse Holo #162 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 22 Oct 2026Related Carvanha & chase cards
Tap to open
Carvanha is one of those small, easy-to-overlook commons from Fusion Strike, the 2021 set that flooded shelves and pack sites alike, and this reverse holo version with artwork from NC Empire is the one collectors ask about most when they're trying to pin down a Carvanha value. It's not a chase card by any stretch, but that's exactly why its story is worth telling: a common that barely anyone bothers to grade, sitting quietly at the bottom of a big set. If you pulled one and are wondering what it's worth, you're in the right place.

The collector's take on Carvanha
Is Carvanha worth grading?
Here's the honest answer on whether Carvanha is worth grading: raw copies carry basically no market value, sitting at $0, while a PSA 10 sells for $31 and a Grade 9 comes in at $11. That PSA 10 price is 114.8 times the raw price, which sounds dramatic on paper, but in real dollars it's still a small return once you factor in grading fees, shipping, and the time it takes to get a card back from PSA. Gem mint is never guaranteed either, centering and edge wear on a common like this can tank a submission fast. Unless you've got a stack of Fusion Strike commons to send in together to spread the cost, this isn't a card where grading makes obvious financial sense, it's more of a labor of love than an investment play.
How rare is Carvanha?
When you look at the numbers, Carvanha is genuinely rare in graded form, just not in the way most collectors expect. There is only 1 graded copy of this card on record across all grades, which tells you almost nobody has bothered submitting it, not that the card itself is hard to find. That kind of population usually means low demand rather than high value, since a thin graded population only pushes prices up when collectors are actively competing for the few copies that exist. For Carvanha, it mostly just means the grading market for this card hasn't really formed yet.
Where can you pull Carvanha?
We track real pulls across pack opening sites here at PackSpy, and so far Carvanha Reverse Holo hasn't shown up in any of the openings we've logged. That doesn't mean it's impossible to pull, Fusion Strike packs are still around and this card is a legitimate common in the set, but it does mean it's flying under the radar compared to the chase cards everyone's ripping packs for. If you're after one specifically, your best bet right now is the secondary market rather than hoping to hit it live, and that's worth remembering any time you're opening packs for a specific card: the odds are rarely in your favor, and most rips don't pay for themselves.
Questions people ask
How much is Carvanha worth?+
A raw, ungraded Carvanha Reverse Holo currently sits at $0 in market value, while graded copies do a little better, with a Grade 9 at $11 and a PSA 10 at $31. It's a common from Fusion Strike, so it was never expected to carry big numbers, but graded gem mint copies still hold a modest premium.
Is Carvanha worth grading?+
It can be, but go in with realistic expectations. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is 114.8x, which sounds big, but that only takes you to $31, so after grading costs the profit margin is thin unless you're batching several cards together.
Why is the Carvanha Reverse Holo #162 print worth more than the standard one?+
Reverse holos get that shimmering foil pattern across the card's border instead of just the artwork, which makes them more visually striking and generally more sought after than the plain non-holo common. Collectors tend to pay a little extra for that extra shine, even on cards that aren't rare in the traditional sense.
