The collector's take on Crobat VMAX
Is Crobat VMAX worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Crobat VMAX sits at $2, but a PSA 10 pulls $39, which works out to 20.3 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of spread that gets people excited about grading. But slow down for a second: hitting a true gem mint 10 isn't guaranteed, plenty of copies come back as a Grade 9, which lands at $17, still decent but nowhere near the 10 territory. Grading costs money and takes time, and on a $2 card, if it comes back anything less than a 10 you're likely not covering your costs. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a light, straight edges, no whitening, centered well, it might be worth the gamble. If it's just a decent pull from a pack, it may be more fun to keep it raw and move on to the next chase.
How rare is it?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 1,668 copies of Crobat VMAX on record, and of those, 902 have earned a PSA 10. That's actually a pretty high percentage of gems relative to the total population, which tells you this card grades well when submitted, but it doesn't mean gem copies are common in absolute terms, they're still a limited slice of a limited pool. For collectors, that population size keeps Crobat VMAX in a reasonable, attainable range rather than chase-card territory, which is part of why it stays a fan favorite instead of a speculative flip.
Where to pull it
PackSpy has tracked 5 real pulls of Crobat VMAX across pack-opening sites, spanning courtyard, lastpack, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded hit landing at $26. We've seen it show up in packs like the Pokémon Starter Pack, plain old starter and noobie packs, and the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it tends to surface in beginner-tier or budget rips rather than premium boxes. That lines up with what you'd expect: it's not a chase card sites build marketing around, it's more of a pleasant surprise. Opening packs for a specific card is always a gamble, and most rips don't pay for themselves, so if you specifically want a Crobat VMAX, buying one directly on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Crobat VMAX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Crobat VMAX is valued at $2. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 worth $17 and a PSA 10 reaching $39, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Crobat VMAX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 20.3 times what a raw copy does. But grading costs money regardless of outcome, and with 902 of the 1,668 graded copies already earning a 10, you're competing against a fairly deep pool of gem mint examples, so only send in copies that look genuinely pack fresh.
What set is Crobat VMAX from?+
Crobat VMAX #45 comes from Shining Fates, a set released in 2021. It's a Holo Rare VMAX illustrated by PLANETA Tsuji, and it's remained a popular pull from that release ever since.
