Elekid #48 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Elekid & chase cards
Tap to open
Elekid is one of those small, friendly cards from the 2006 Dragon Frontiers set that a lot of collectors have a soft spot for, even though it's just a Common with Ken Sugimori artwork rather than anything flashy. If you're searching for Elekid value, here's the short version: it's a $2 raw card that most people pick up for nostalgia rather than profit, and that's perfectly fine, not every card in a collection needs to be a big swing.
Price history
InteractiveRaw value is $1.99, down 12% over the past year, with an all-time high of $5.19 in February 2023.

The collector's take on Elekid
Is Elekid worth grading?
So is Elekid worth grading? A PSA 10 sits at $15 against a raw price of $2, which works out to about 8.2 times the ungraded value, and a Grade 9 comes in at $13. On paper that jump looks tempting, but remember grading fees, shipping and the wait time all eat into that margin, and with a card valued this low, the math rarely works in your favor unless you're grading a stack of them for the fun of building a graded set. Gem mint is never guaranteed either, centering and edge wear on a common from an older set like this can knock it down more than you'd expect, so go in with your eyes open and grade because you love the card, not because you're expecting a payout.
How rare is Elekid?
Across all grading companies combined, only 137 copies of this Elekid have ever been graded, and of those, 43 have earned a PSA 10. That's actually a fairly high percentage of gem mints for a card this age, which tells you Elekid wasn't especially hard to pull in top condition back in 2006, and it helps explain why the price stays modest even at the top grade. Scarcity alone doesn't drive value here, demand does, and demand for a Common from Dragon Frontiers is understandably gentle.
Where can you pull Elekid?
Here's where PackSpy's real pull data comes in handy: we track actual pack openings across sites, and as of now, we haven't recorded a single pull of this Elekid anywhere. That doesn't mean it's impossible to find, Dragon Frontiers packs and boxes are long out of production, so your realistic path to owning one is the secondary market, not a live break. It's a good reminder that opening packs is always a gamble, most rips don't pay off, and for older sets like this one, buying the exact card you want is often the smarter, calmer move.
Questions people ask
How much is Elekid worth?+
A raw, ungraded Elekid from Dragon Frontiers is worth about $2. It's a Common card, so the value stays modest, but that also makes it an easy, low-stakes pickup for anyone building out a 2006 set.
Is Elekid worth grading?+
It depends on why you're doing it. A PSA 10 fetches $15 versus $2 raw, roughly 8.2 times more, but once you factor in grading costs, that gap shrinks fast, so it's more of a passion project than a money move for this particular card.
How much is a PSA 10 Elekid worth?+
A PSA 10 Elekid is valued at $15, with 43 copies having reached that top grade out of 137 total graded. It's a nice card to own in gem mint, just don't expect it to be a big investment piece.
