Tap to open
Dark Muk is one of those quietly cool cards from the Team Rocket set, released back in 2000, and if you grew up chasing the Dark-type Pokemon variants you probably remember pulling this uncommon straight from a booster. Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, it has that classic early-set look that still draws collectors back to check Dark Muk value today. It is not a chase card in the flashy sense, but it has a following, and its price tells a real story about what condition and grading can do for even a modest uncommon.

The collector's take on Dark Muk
Is Dark Muk worth grading?
Here is the honest answer on Dark Muk price: a raw, ungraded copy sits around $2, while a PSA 10 in gem mint condition is valued at roughly 4.4 times that. On paper that jump looks tempting, but you have to weigh grading fees, shipping, and turnaround time against a card that starts out worth just a couple dollars. A Grade 9 comes in at $65, which is actually well above what the PSA 10 pulls, so a near mint copy that just misses gem mint can be the sweet spot rather than the letdown. If you already have a sharp-looking copy sitting in a binder and grading fees make sense for your batch, it is worth a shot, but sending in a single low value raw card purely hoping for a PSA 10 payout is a gamble more than a plan.
How rare is Dark Muk?
Across all grading submissions on record, only 461 copies of Dark Muk have been graded, and of those just 27 have reached PSA 10. That is a pretty tight gem mint population for a card that most people treated as a common pull back in 2000, since nobody was preserving uncommons in perfect condition at the time. That scarcity at the top end is exactly why the PSA 10 price holds up the way it does, even though the raw card itself is easy to find and cheap to pick up.
Where can you pull Dark Muk?
PackSpy has tracked Dark Muk being pulled 12 times across pack sites including courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $36. It has shown up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so if you are opening modern pack products hoping to land it, those are the spots where it has actually surfaced in real recorded rips. That said, opening packs for a specific uncommon like this is still a gamble, and most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so a lot of collectors end up just buying the card outright on the secondary market instead of chasing it through packs.
Questions people ask
How much is Dark Muk worth?+
A raw, ungraded Dark Muk is worth around $2, which reflects how common it is to find outside of a graded slab. Grading changes the picture quite a bit, with a Grade 9 valued at $65 and a PSA 10 at $10. So the real Dark Muk value depends heavily on condition and whether it has been through a grading company.
Is Dark Muk worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 is worth about 4.4 times the raw price, but only 27 out of 461 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it is far from guaranteed. If your card is already in great shape, grading can be worthwhile, especially since a Grade 9 actually values higher than a PSA 10 at $65, but sending in a rough copy just to gamble on a 10 is risky.
How much is a PSA 10 Dark Muk worth?+
A PSA 10 Dark Muk is valued at $10, which is 4.4 times what the raw card sells for. Only 27 copies out of 461 graded have reached that gem mint status, showing just how hard it is to land a perfect one even from a card that is easy to find raw.
