Electabuzz #24 comes from Base Set 2, the 2000 set that gave a new generation of collectors a second shot at those classic first-generation Pokemon, and this Ken Sugimori illustrated Rare card has stuck around as a fan favorite ever since. If you are asking about Electabuzz value, the short answer is that it is an affordable piece of Pokemon history, sitting around $3 raw, but the story gets more interesting once grading enters the picture. It is the kind of card that is cheap enough to grab a handful of for fun, but scarce enough in top condition to make you pause before ripping into a pack hoping for one.

The collector's take on Electabuzz

Is Electabuzz worth grading?

Here is the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Electabuzz runs about $3, while a PSA 10 sells for $75, which works out to roughly 23.7 times the raw price. That sounds like a clear reason to grade every copy you own, but hold on a second, because a Grade 9 actually commands $107, more than the PSA 10 figure, which tells you condition sensitivity and market timing can play tricky games with older cards like this one. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, so before you send one in, take a hard look at the centering, corners and surface under good light. If it looks clean to your eye, grading can pay off, but if it has any soft corners or print lines, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.

How rare is Electabuzz?

Out of everyone who has ever sent an Electabuzz in for grading, only 467 copies exist in graded form across all grades, and of those, just 98 have earned the coveted PSA 10 gem mint label. That is a fairly tight population when you think about how many of these cards were opened back in 2000 and in the years since, and it means true gem mint copies are genuinely hard to come by. Scarcity like this is part of why the PSA 10 price sits well above the raw card, even if the exact multiplier does not always move in a straight line.

Where can you pull Electabuzz?

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we log real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. Electabuzz has shown up 200 or more times across packs, courtyard breaks and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $55. We have seen it surface in products like XY Evolutions, the Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack and The Amazing Chase Encore, so if you are chasing this card specifically, those are good places to keep an eye on. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble, and most rips do not cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is Electabuzz worth?+

A raw, ungraded Electabuzz from Base Set 2 is worth about $3, making it an easy card to pick up for a collection. Its value climbs a lot once graded, with Grade 9 copies reaching $107 and PSA 10 copies at $75, so condition and grading history really shape the price here.

Is Electabuzz worth grading?+

It depends on the copy. The PSA 10 price sits at roughly 23.7 times the raw price of $3, but interestingly Grade 9 copies currently sell for more than PSA 10s at $107 versus $75, so grading is not automatically the right move for every card. Weigh the grading cost against the condition of your specific copy before sending it in.

How much is a PSA 10 Electabuzz worth?+

A PSA 10 Electabuzz is valued at $75, reflecting its gem mint condition and the fact that only 98 out of the 467 total graded copies have hit that top grade. That population number gives you a real sense of just how tough gem mint condition is to land on this particular card.
