Ceruledge — collector's take

Is Ceruledge worth grading?

Here's the honest breakdown on grading Ceruledge. A raw copy runs $22, a Grade 9 gets you to $30, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $222, which works out to 10.0x the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting to send every copy off hoping for gem mint. But grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your card comes back a 10. Illustration rares like this one can be tricky too, since the artwork often runs edge to edge and any small print line or centering issue stands out more. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, corners clean, centering even, it's worth considering. If it's got visible wear, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling as is rather than gambling on grading fees.

How rare is it?

Right now there are 18,126 graded copies of Ceruledge on record, and of those, 6,384 have come back as PSA 10. That's a fairly high percentage landing in gem mint, which tells you this card grades reasonably well when the copy is clean going in. It also means PSA 10 isn't a needle in a haystack the way it is for some other illustration rares, but the population is still large enough that pricing stays grounded in real supply rather than hype. For collectors, that combination, plentiful raw copies but a meaningful jump in price at the top grade, is exactly why grading decisions matter here.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's data actually helps, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just listing prices. Ceruledge has been pulled 122 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, lastpack, tilt-rips, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $241. We've seen it show up in Pokémon Starter Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, explorer, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. If you're chasing this one, those are the pack types where it's actually surfaced, not just where it's theoretically possible. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost. Ceruledge is a nice one to land, but it shouldn't be the reason you open a case.

Questions people ask

How much is Ceruledge worth?

A raw, ungraded Ceruledge is worth $22 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $30 and a PSA 10 reaching $222. So the value really depends on condition and whether it's been graded.

Is Ceruledge worth grading?

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 10.0x what a raw copy goes for, jumping from $22 to $222. Just know that grading costs money upfront and there's no guarantee of gem mint, so it's worth it mainly if your copy already looks clean and well centered.

What set is Ceruledge from?

Ceruledge #197 comes from the Surging Sparks set, released in 2024. It's an illustration rare featuring artwork by Rond, which is part of why collectors are drawn to it beyond just the numbers.
