Tap to open
Crushing Hammer #166 is one of those quiet Secret Rares from the 2018 Ultra Prism set that collectors keep circling back to, thanks to Yoshinobu Saito's artwork and that secret rare shine sitting outside the main set numbering. If you're trying to pin down Crushing Hammer value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $46, which is a solid number for a card of its age and rarity. It's not a chase card that dominates headlines, but it has a steady, respectable place in the Ultra Prism lineup that longtime collectors appreciate.

The collector's take on Crushing Hammer
Is Crushing Hammer worth grading?
So is Crushing Hammer worth grading? It depends on what you're chasing. A PSA 10 comes in at $49, which is about 1.1x the raw price of $46, so the gem mint premium here is real but modest, not the kind of jump that makes grading a no-brainer. What's worth noting honestly is that a Grade 9 sits at just $23, actually below the raw price, which is a good reminder that anything short of a perfect 10 can leave you worse off once you've paid grading fees and waited on turnaround. If you already love the card and want it protected in a slab, that's reason enough. But if you're grading purely to flip for profit, the math is tight here and a near miss can sting.
How rare is Crushing Hammer?
Across all grading services combined, only 124 copies of Crushing Hammer have been graded, and of those, 55 have come back a perfect PSA 10. That's a fairly high percentage of gem mints relative to the total population, which tells you this card takes grading reasonably well when it's been kept in good shape. It also means the raw and lower grade copies floating around are the real rarity in relative terms, since so much of the graded population already sits at the top.
Where can you pull Crushing Hammer?
Here's the honest insider view: PackSpy has not recorded Crushing Hammer being pulled on any of the pack sites we track. That doesn't mean it's impossible to hit, but it does mean it's rarely showing up in live pack breaks right now, which lines up with it being a Secret Rare tucked into an older set. Realistically, if you want this card today, you're far more likely to find it through the secondary market than by ripping packs and hoping. We'll keep watching our tracked sites and update this page the moment a real pull comes through, because that's the kind of data no price guide gives you.
