Tap to open
Delcatty is one of those quietly charming cards from the Japanese EX Ruby & Sapphire Expansion Pack, a set that a lot of long time collectors still have a soft spot for. This particular printing, the 1st edition #45, carries that little stamp collectors look for, and it is one of the reasons people search Delcatty value in the first place. Right now a raw copy sits at $10, which makes it an easy card to enjoy without breaking the bank, but the story gets more interesting once you look at what happens in higher grades.

The collector's take on Delcatty
Is Delcatty worth grading?
So is Delcatty worth grading? Here is the honest answer. A raw copy goes for $10, a Grade 9 jumps to $108, and a PSA 10 sits at $355, which works out to about 35.3 times the raw price. That is a real jump, no question, and it is exactly why people get tempted to send cards off for grading. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason. Corners, edges, centering, print quality, all of it has to line up, and plenty of nice looking raw cards come back as a 9 instead of a 10. Add in grading fees and the wait time, and you want to be fairly confident in the copy you are submitting before you commit. If you have a crisp, clean 1st edition copy, it can be worth the gamble. If it has soft corners or edge wear, it might be better loved as is.
How rare is Delcatty?
We do not have official population numbers to lean on here, but the 1st edition status alone tells you something. First edition prints from this era of Japanese sets were produced in smaller windows than their unlimited counterparts, which naturally thins out how many clean copies exist today. That scarcity is part of why the price climbs so sharply once a card grades out at PSA 10 rather than sitting raw or graded 9. Fewer top condition copies floating around means more competition when one actually shows up for sale.
Where can you pull Delcatty?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls happening across live pack sites, not just guesses. Delcatty has been recorded being pulled 2 times, both times across mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull value coming in at $167. Those pulls landed in Pack 5 and Pack 2. It is a small sample, but it is real data, and it tells you Delcatty is not a card you will see pulled constantly. If you are chasing one, most collectors end up buying on the secondary market rather than hoping for a rip, and it is worth remembering that opening packs is genuinely a gamble where most openings do not come out ahead financially.
Questions people ask
How much is Delcatty worth?+
A raw or ungraded Delcatty 1st edition #45 is valued at $10. Once graded, a Grade 9 copy climbs to $108, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy reaches $355, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Delcatty worth grading?+
It depends on the copy in your hands. The PSA 10 price of $355 is about 35.3 times the raw price of $10, which is a strong incentive, but hitting a 10 takes a genuinely clean card. If your copy has visible wear, grading fees may not pay off, so look closely before you send it in.
Why is the Delcatty 1st Edition #45 print worth more than the standard one?+
First edition cards from Japanese sets like EX Ruby & Sapphire Expansion Pack were printed in a narrower run than the standard unlimited versions, which makes clean surviving copies harder to find. That extra scarcity, combined with collector demand for the 1st edition stamp, is what tends to push the price above a standard print.
