Clefairy has always been one of those cards that makes people smile the moment they see it, that soft pink little sprite with the star magic in Ken Sugimori's original artwork, and it comes from the 1999 Base Set, the set that started this whole hobby. As a 1st Edition, Rare pull numbered #5, it carries real weight with collectors, and if you have landed here searching Clefairy value or wondering what your copy might fetch, you are in the right spot. This is exactly the kind of card where the price you see depends enormously on condition, so let's walk through what it is actually worth.

The collector's take on Clefairy
Is Clefairy worth grading?
Here is the honest math on Clefairy price by grade: a raw, ungraded copy sits around $287, a Grade 9 jumps to $3,809, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy commands $9,126, which works out to about 31.8 times the raw price. That is a huge gap, and it is tempting to think every card in your binder deserves a shot at grading. But gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to hit on a card this old, corners soften, centering drifts, and the print lines from 1999 were not exactly laser precise. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back a 10 rather than a 9, so it is worth eyeballing your card closely under good light, maybe even getting a second opinion, before you commit to sending it in.
How rare is Clefairy?
Across every grading company combined, only 2,512 copies of this Clefairy have been graded, and of those, just 80 have earned a PSA 10. When you put those two numbers side by side, you start to see why gem mint copies command such a premium, only a small slice of an already limited pool ever comes back looking flawless. That kind of scarcity at the very top end is exactly what keeps pushing the PSA 10 price so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures, and it is a big part of why collectors keep chasing this specific card decades after it first hit shelves.
Where can you pull Clefairy?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we watch real pack openings across sites like courtyard, packs, tilt-rips, collector-crypt, and lastpack rather than just guessing from a price guide. Clefairy has actually been pulled 200 or more times across those sites, with the biggest recorded hit going for $353, so it is not some mythical chase card, it does show up. We have also seen it turn up in products like the Pokémon Starter Pack, XY Evolutions, the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore, so if you are hoping to pull one yourself rather than buy on the secondary market, those are the kinds of packs worth keeping an eye on. Just remember that opening packs is fundamentally a gamble, most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Clefairy worth?+
A raw, ungraded Clefairy from 1999 Base Set typically sits around $287. Once graded, the value climbs fast, with a Grade 9 reaching $3,809 and a PSA 10 gem mint copy going for $9,126. So how much your Clefairy is worth really comes down to its condition and whether it has been graded.
Is Clefairy worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for roughly 31.8 times what a raw copy does, but that gap only pays off if your card actually earns the top grade. Out of 2,512 total graded copies, only 80 have hit PSA 10, so gem mint is genuinely rare for this card. Weigh the grading cost and turnaround against how sharp your copy really looks before sending it in.
What set is Clefairy from?+
Clefairy 1st Edition #5 comes from the Base Set, the very first Pokemon set, released back in 1999. It is a Rare card illustrated by Ken Sugimori, and it remains one of the more recognizable pulls from that original run.
