Cubone #407 Value
Chinese Gem Pack 3 · Card 407
Cubone #407 comes out of the Chinese Gem Pack 3 set, and it is one of those cards that quietly builds a following because it just looks right, that lone little skull-helmet Pokemon standing on its own against a crowded checklist. If you are here looking into Cubone value, the short version is that it holds real money at every grade level, from a raw copy sitting at $246 up through a PSA 10 at $646. That kind of spread is exactly why collectors keep an eye on this one instead of writing it off as a filler card.

Cubone — collector's take
Is Cubone worth grading?
So is it worth grading Cubone? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $246, a Grade 9 sits at $258, and a PSA 10 jumps to $646, which works out to about 2.6x the raw price. That gap looks tempting on paper, but gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it is hard to hit. Centering, edge wear, and surface flaws that you would never notice with the naked eye can knock a card down to a 9 instead of a 10, and a Grade 9 barely moves the needle over raw once you factor in grading fees and turnaround time. If your copy looks clean under a loupe and you are patient enough to wait out the grading process, it can pay off. If it is borderline, you might be better off just enjoying the card or selling it raw.
How rare is it?
We do not have hard population numbers to point to on this one, so it is worth talking about scarcity in plainer terms. Chinese Gem Pack 3 is not a set most collectors have memorized, which naturally limits how many people are actively chasing this card, but that also means clean, well-centered copies do not flood the market either. Scarcity here comes less from a printed population count and more from the fact that fewer people are opening this set compared to mainstream English releases, so a genuinely sharp copy in hand is worth holding onto.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack-opening sites rather than just quoting a price guide. Cubone has been pulled 92 times across sites we monitor, including courtyard and collector-crypt, and it has shown up in a handful of specific packs: Pokemon Basic Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, and Pokemon Pro Pack. The biggest recorded pull value we have logged for Cubone sits at $520, which gives you a real sense of what a lucky rip can bring versus what it usually settles at. Worth saying plainly: opening packs for a card like this is a gamble, and most rips do not come out ahead, so treat pulling as entertainment first and a possible bonus second.
