Tap to open
Ekans #47 comes from the Dragon Frontiers set, released back in 2006, and it's the kind of card that quietly makes long time collectors smile. It's a common illustrated by Yuka Morii, so nobody is chasing it for rarity in the traditional sense, but there's something charming about a card this old still holding steady value. If you're here checking Ekans value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $2, which feels about right for a common from this era.

The collector's take on Ekans
Is Ekans worth grading?
So is it worth grading Ekans? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $2, a Grade 9 brings $10, and a PSA 10 tops out at $11, which works out to about 5.5 times the raw price. That jump sounds appealing on paper, but grading fees and shipping can easily eat up the difference on a card like this, especially since gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to land even when a card looks perfect to the naked eye. If you already own a sharp looking copy and you're grading a batch of other cards anyway, tossing Ekans in makes sense. But grading this one on its own, just to flip it, is unlikely to make you money after fees.
How rare is Ekans?
Across all grading services, only 202 copies of Ekans have ever been graded, and of those just 43 have reached PSA 10. That's a fairly tight gem mint population for a common card, which tells you that even simple, low value cards from this era aren't always easy to find in flawless condition almost two decades later. It won't make Ekans valuable in a dramatic way, but it does explain why that top grade commands a real premium over the raw price.
Where can you pull Ekans?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pack openings across sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We've recorded Ekans pulled 37 times, all from courtyard, and it's shown up in Pokémon Starter Pack products. The biggest recorded pull value for this card was $23, which is a nice reminder that even a common can occasionally land in a pack worth chasing. Realistically though, most people who want Ekans for a collection end up buying it outright on the secondary market rather than hoping to pull it, since opening packs is always a gamble and most rips don't cover their cost.
Questions people ask
How much is Ekans worth?+
A raw, ungraded Ekans from Dragon Frontiers is worth $2. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 valued at $10 and a PSA 10 reaching $11.
Is Ekans worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 5.5 times the raw price. But with only 43 PSA 10s out of 202 graded copies, gem mint condition isn't guaranteed, so weigh the grading fees against the modest upside before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Ekans worth?+
A PSA 10 Ekans is valued at $11. That's the top end for this card, and with only 43 copies graded that high out of 202 total, it's a small but genuine premium over the raw $2 price.
