Dark Weezing — collector's take

Is Dark Weezing worth grading?

So is Dark Weezing worth grading? A raw copy sits at $63, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $2,074, which works out to 33.1x the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's the kind of number that gets collectors reaching for a grading submission. But hitting a true gem mint 10 isn't guaranteed, reverse holos show every little scratch and print line under grading lights, and a Grade 9 lands at $274, a much smaller jump than the 10. Factor in grading fees, turnaround time, and the chance you land a 9 instead of a 10, and grading becomes a calculated bet rather than a sure thing. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe, it's worth exploring. If it's got soft corners or surface wear, the raw market might just be the smarter home for it.

How rare is it?

We don't have official population figures on this one, but that's fairly normal for a card from a 2004 Uncommon slot, these weren't printed with the scarcity of a chase holo, yet clean surviving copies in high grade are still genuinely tough to find two decades later. Time does what population reports can't always capture: cards get played with, stored poorly, or just lost to closets, and that quietly shrinks the pool of gem mint copies each year. That slow attrition is a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw number, scarcity here is less about the print run and more about what's actually survived in top shape.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's own data gets interesting. We've tracked Dark Weezing being pulled 17 times across live pack sites, specifically on courtyard and collector-crypt, and the biggest recorded pull came in at $1,049. It's shown up in a mix of packs including the Pokémon Master Pack, Pokémon Platinum Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack, so it's not tied to one single product. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid. If you're chasing this card specifically, keep an eye on live pull trackers like ours rather than assuming any one pack guarantees a hit.
