Cyndaquil #79 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Cyndaquil & chase cards
Tap to open
Cyndaquil #79 comes from the 2007 Mysterious Treasures set, a common card illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda that a lot of Johto era collectors have a soft spot for. It's not a card that turns heads for its rarity tier, but people searching Cyndaquil value keep landing here because even the small stuff adds up when you're building a set or chasing a clean grade. Right now a raw copy sits at $3, which tells you plainly this is a nostalgia and completion pull rather than a chase card.

The collector's take on Cyndaquil
Is Cyndaquil worth grading?
So is Cyndaquil worth grading? Honestly, it depends on why you're doing it. A PSA 10 runs about 2.3 times the raw price, which sounds like a nice jump until you look at the actual dollars: raw is $3, PSA 10 sits at $6. Grading fees alone can eat past that difference, and there's real risk in the process since a Grade 9 currently trades at $8, actually higher than a perfect 10 for this particular card. Gem mint copies aren't easy to land even on commons, since anything can knock a corner or leave a print line. If you already own the card and love it, grading it for the fun of pop report bragging rights is fine. If you're doing it purely for profit, the math here just doesn't favor it.
How rare is Cyndaquil?
Across every collection and grading submission PackSpy has visibility into, only 59 copies of Cyndaquil have ever been graded, and of those, 20 came back as a PSA 10. That's a genuinely tight population for a common card, and it shows that even low value cards from 2007 don't always get submitted in huge numbers. It also means gem mint copies, while not rare in absolute count, are less common than you'd expect just from the card's low price tag alone.
Where can you pull Cyndaquil?
We've tracked 40 recorded pulls of Cyndaquil across collector-crypt and courtyard, so this isn't a card that shows up constantly, but it's far from a ghost either. It's turned up in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard 3: Inferno, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. The biggest recorded pull tied to this card hit $628, which is a good reminder that pull value is about the whole slot, hits and hype included, not the card in isolation. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to breaking even, so treat any Cyndaquil pull as a nice bonus rather than the reason you bought the pack.
Questions people ask
How much is Cyndaquil worth?+
A raw, ungraded Cyndaquil #79 from Mysterious Treasures is valued at $3. Graded copies climb a bit, with a Grade 9 at $8 and a PSA 10 at $6, so the price really depends on condition and whether it's been slabbed.
Is Cyndaquil worth grading?+
For this card, grading is more about pride than profit. The jump to PSA 10 is roughly 2.3x the raw price, but with raw at $3 and PSA 10 at $6, grading fees can easily outweigh the gain, and a Grade 9 currently sells for more than a 10 anyway.
How much is a PSA 10 Cyndaquil worth?+
A PSA 10 Cyndaquil is currently valued at $6. Out of the 59 total graded copies on record, 20 have earned that gem mint 10 grade, so it's attainable but not guaranteed.
