The collector's take on Clauncher
Is Clauncher worth grading?
So, is Clauncher worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy sits at $8, a Grade 9 climbs to $21, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $168, which works out to about 21.0x the raw price. That's a real gap, but gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it's genuinely hard to land a perfect 10 on illustration rares like this because the borders and detailed art show every little edge ding or print line. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're taking a bit of a gamble, so only send it in if your copy looks flawless under a loupe. If it's got soft corners or centering issues, you're often better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Clauncher?
PackSpy doesn't have a specific population count on file for Clauncher, so we won't pretend otherwise, but illustration rares as a category are printed sparingly compared to your standard commons and uncommons, which is part of why they carry a premium even at the raw level. That scarcity tier is baked into the $8 raw price already sitting above basic cards, and it's exactly why PSA 10 copies command such a jump in value. Fewer near perfect copies exist simply because fewer high quality raw copies exist to begin with.
Where can you pull Clauncher?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually tells you something a price guide can't: we've recorded Clauncher pulled 1 time across the pack sites we monitor, with the biggest recorded pull value coming in at $9. That single pull showed up in Catch 'em All - Scarlet & Violet, which tells you this card isn't exactly flooding pack openings. If you're chasing Clauncher through packs specifically, know that it's a rare sighting based on what we've tracked, and most collectors end up picking one up on the secondary market instead. Worth remembering too, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't come close to what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.

Is Clauncher worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 21.0x the raw price at $168 versus $8. But gem mint copies are tough to pull off, and grading costs and time add real risk, so it only makes sense if your card is in excellent shape to start.

Clauncher #205 comes from the Scarlet & Violet set, released in 2023. It's an illustration rare featuring artwork by Shinya Komatsu, which is a big part of why collectors seek it out.
