Cyndaquil #45 comes from the Dragon Frontiers set, a 2006 release that a lot of collectors still have a soft spot for, and this little fire mouse is one of the more charming Commons in it thanks to Atsuko Nishida's artwork. It's not a card that's going to fund a vacation, but if you're checking Cyndaquil value before buying, selling, or just seeing what your old binder is worth, the numbers here are simple and honest. Raw copies sit at $2, which tells you this is a card people collect for love of the set more than for profit.

The collector's take on Cyndaquil
Is Cyndaquil worth grading?
So is it worth sending Cyndaquil off to get graded? Let's be straight about it. A raw copy is $2, a Grade 9 comes in at $22, and a PSA 10 sits at $67, which works out to 33.7x the raw price. That jump looks exciting on paper, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into that margin fast, and a Common from 2006 doesn't always come back gem mint even when it looks clean to the naked eye. If you've got a genuinely sharp copy and you're doing it for the fun of the process, go for it. If you're doing the math purely for profit, the numbers are tight enough that it's worth thinking twice.
How rare is Cyndaquil?
We don't have population figures for this one, and honestly that's normal for a Common tucked into a set from 2006. Cards at this rarity tier were printed in volume, so raw copies aren't hard to find in bulk boxes or old collections. What's scarcer is a truly gem mint example, since Commons this old tend to pick up whitening, print lines, or edge wear over the years that keep them out of PSA 10 territory even when they've been well cared for.
Where can you pull Cyndaquil?
PackSpy has tracked Cyndaquil being pulled 1 time across the sites we monitor, specifically at courtyard, and it's shown up in the Pokémon Master Pack. The biggest recorded pull value on this card was $92, which shows that even a $2 Common can occasionally land in a pack that pays off well beyond the card itself. That said, one recorded pull tells you this isn't a card people are ripping packs specifically to chase. Most collectors end up finding their Cyndaquil on the secondary market rather than straight out of a pack, and if you are opening packs hoping for it, remember that most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat it as fun first and profit second.
Questions people ask
How much is Cyndaquil worth?+
A raw, ungraded Cyndaquil #45 from Dragon Frontiers is valued at $2. It's a Common from 2006, so the value stays modest unless you've got a graded copy in hand.
Is Cyndaquil worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. A PSA 10 brings $67 against a $2 raw card, a solid multiple, but grading costs and the chance of landing a Grade 9 instead at $22 mean the math only really works if you're confident in the card's condition.
How much is a PSA 10 Cyndaquil worth?+
A PSA 10, gem mint Cyndaquil is valued at $67, which is 33.7 times the raw price of $2. It's the top of the value chain for this card, but gem mint copies of a 2006 Common aren't easy to come by.
