Challenge! is an uncommon card from the Team Rocket set, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and released back in 2000, and it's this 1st Edition #74 print that collectors specifically hunt for. If you're trying to pin down Challenge! value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $6, but the picture changes a lot once grading enters the conversation. It's a small, honest slice of Pokemon history from a set that a lot of us grew up chasing.

The collector's take on Challenge!
Is Challenge! worth grading?
Here's the real question everyone lands on this page for: is Challenge! worth grading? A raw copy is $6, a Grade 9 jumps to $432, and a PSA 10 sits at $115, which sounds odd until you realize gem mint pricing can move around based on demand and timing, but the headline number is that a PSA 10 is worth 20.2x the raw card. That's a big multiplier, and it's the reason people send these in. But grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10, especially on an uncommon like this where population data shows gem mint copies are genuinely hard to hit. If you've got a sharp, clean copy sitting in a binder, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or edge wear, save yourself the grading fee and enjoy it raw.
How rare is Challenge!?
Right now there are 1,503 graded copies of Challenge! on record, and out of that whole population only 172 have earned a PSA 10. That's a fairly small slice at the very top, which tells you gem mint condition is the exception here, not the rule. For collectors, that kind of gap between total population and PSA 10 count is exactly what keeps top grades desirable even on an uncommon card, since scarcity at the highest tier still matters regardless of overall rarity.
Where can you pull Challenge!?
PackSpy has tracked Challenge! being pulled 5 times across collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $15, and we've seen it turn up in Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack. That's the kind of real-world pull data most price guides never show you, we track it because we watch packs get opened across sites in real time. It's worth remembering that pulling packs is a gamble and most rips don't cover their cost, so if you specifically want this card, buying it directly on the secondary market is usually the more predictable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Challenge! worth?+
A raw, ungraded Challenge! is valued at $6. Once graded, the value climbs significantly, with a Grade 9 sitting at $432 and a PSA 10 at $115. The jump reflects just how much condition and grading affect what collectors are willing to pay.
Is Challenge! worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 20.2x the raw price. But with only 172 PSA 10s out of 1,503 total graded copies, gem mint is far from guaranteed, so weigh the grading cost against your card's actual condition before sending it in.
Why is the Challenge! 1st Edition #74 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st Edition prints from the Team Rocket era generally carry a premium because fewer of them were produced compared to later unlimited prints. Collectors value that scarcity, and it's part of why this specific 1st Edition #74 stamp gets singled out when people search for it by name.
