Tap to open
Cynthia's Roserade #5 comes from the Japanese Heat Wave Arena set, and it's the kind of card that quietly draws attention because of who's on it, Cynthia has always been a fan favorite, and pairing her with Roserade gives this card real character. If you're trying to pin down Cynthia's Roserade value, the short answer is that it sits in modest but honest territory: a raw copy trades around $2, which makes it accessible for collectors who just want it in their binder without breaking the bank. It's not a chase card in the flashy sense, but that's part of its charm for people who collect the full story of a set rather than just the hits.

The collector's take on Cynthia's Roserade
Is Cynthia's Roserade worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $2, a Grade 9 sits at $12, and a PSA 10 jumps up to $36, which works out to roughly 23.5 times the raw price. That multiple looks exciting on paper, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait time eat into that gap fast, especially on a card valued in single digits to start. Hitting true gem mint condition also isn't guaranteed, centering and edge wear on older Japanese cards can knock a copy down to a 9 even when it looks clean to the naked eye. If you already own the card and it looks sharp, grading could make sense as a fun long shot, but if you're buying raw copies specifically hoping to flip a PSA 10, do the math on grading costs first because the margins here are thin.
How rare is Cynthia's Roserade?
We don't have population data on Cynthia's Roserade yet, which itself says something: this isn't a card flooding the grading queues or showing up constantly in population reports. Cards from Heat Wave Arena tend to fly under the radar compared to mainstream English sets, and that lower visibility usually means fewer submissions to grading companies overall. Less data doesn't mean less scarce, if anything it often means the opposite, collectors just haven't pushed this one through the system in big numbers yet.
Where can you pull Cynthia's Roserade?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually tells you something a price guide can't: we haven't recorded Cynthia's Roserade being pulled on any site we track yet. That tells you plainly this isn't a card showing up in live pack breaks or online rips with any regularity, it's rare enough that it's mostly changing hands on the secondary market between collectors rather than coming out of fresh packs. If you're hoping to pull it yourself, treat that as a long shot and remember that opening packs is gambling no matter how you slice it, most rips don't beat what you paid. Buying the card directly if you want it in your collection is usually the more reliable route right now.
Questions people ask
How much is Cynthia's Roserade worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Cynthia's Roserade is worth about $2 right now. Value climbs with grading, a Grade 9 sits around $12, and a PSA 10 reaches $36. It's a card with real collector appeal even at accessible prices.
Is Cynthia's Roserade worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. A PSA 10 is worth roughly 23.5 times the raw price, which sounds great, but grading fees can eat most of that margin on a card starting around $2. If you love the card and want it protected long term, grading makes sense, if you're purely chasing profit, the numbers are tight.
How much is a PSA 10 Cynthia's Roserade worth?+
A PSA 10, gem mint copy of Cynthia's Roserade is valued at $36. That's a solid jump from the raw price of $2 and the Grade 9 value of $12, but keep in mind hitting a true PSA 10 isn't guaranteed even on a nice-looking copy.
