Cramorant VMAX is one of those cards that makes you smile before you even think about what it's worth, that oversized beak and the sheer goofiness of the artwork from PLANETA Tsuji stands out even in a set as flashy as Shining Fates. Released in 2021, it's a Holo Rare VMAX, which puts it a notch above your everyday holo but well below the mega-chase cards in that set. If you're trying to pin down Cramorant VMAX value, the short answer is that it sits in modest, accessible territory, and that's actually part of its charm for a lot of collectors.

The collector's take on Cramorant VMAX

Is Cramorant VMAX worth grading?

Here's where it gets interesting: a raw copy of Cramorant VMAX sits around $2, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $37, which works out to about 19.5 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's the kind of gap that gets people dreaming about sending cards off to grading companies. But be honest with yourself first. Grading costs money regardless of what grade you get back, and gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to land, especially with VMAX cards where the foil and edges show every flaw under bright light. A Grade 9 lands you $16, which is a solid middle ground if your copy isn't flawless but still sharp. If you've got a copy that looks clean to the naked eye and you don't mind the wait and the risk, grading can pay off. If it's got soft corners or print lines, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.

How rare is it?

Shining Fates wasn't a small print run set, it was designed to be widely available, which is part of why Cramorant VMAX doesn't carry the kind of scarcity premium you see on rarer chase cards from smaller sets. As a Holo Rare VMAX, it sits in a tier where plenty of copies exist in raw form, and that keeps everyday prices grounded. The real scarcity shows up at the top of the grading scale, since pulling a genuinely gem mint copy takes a clean pack and a bit of luck, and that's exactly why PSA 10s command such a jump over raw copies even when the card itself isn't the rarest thing in the set.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we've tracked this card being pulled 54 times across live pack sites, specifically courtyard and collector-crypt. The biggest recorded pull came in at $73, which tells you that on a good day, in the right pack, this card can outperform its usual market price by a wide margin. We've seen it turn up in a handful of pack types too, including the Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble no matter how you slice it, and most rips don't beat what you paid in, so treat any pull like a bonus rather than a plan.
