Related Empoleon FB & chase cards
Tap to open
Empoleon FB is the rare pull from 2009's Supreme Victors set, a card fans still talk about thanks to Hiroki Fuchino's artwork and Empoleon's presence as one of the tougher penguin-line Pokemon to pull. If you're digging into Empoleon FB value, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $4, which makes sense for a card from a set that's now over a decade old but still gets opened and traded regularly. It's not a chase card in the way some are, but it's got a steady little following, and that's exactly why people keep searching for what it's actually worth today.

The collector's take on Empoleon FB
Is Empoleon FB worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting: a raw Empoleon FB sits at $4, but a PSA 10 jumps to $165, which works out to about 44.1 times the ungraded price. That's a real gap, and it's the kind of number that makes people wonder if grading is worth gambling on. The honest answer is that hitting gem mint on a 2009 card isn't guaranteed, centering and edge wear from age can knock you down to a Grade 9, which is still valued at $416 here, so even a near-perfect copy holds solid value. Grading fees and turnaround time are real costs though, and you won't know what you've got until it comes back, so only send in copies that look genuinely sharp under a loupe before you spend the money.
How rare is Empoleon FB?
Across all grading submissions, only 678 copies of Empoleon FB have been graded, and of those, just 165 have earned a PSA 10. That's not a huge population, but it does mean gem mint copies aren't as rare within that group as you might expect, roughly a quarter of graded copies made it to the top. Still, when you consider how many raw copies are floating around unsubmitted, that population number tells you most Empoleon FB cards out there haven't been tested for grade at all, which keeps the PSA 10 market a little tighter than the raw numbers alone suggest.
Where can you pull Empoleon FB?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because price guides won't tell you this part. We've recorded Empoleon FB pulled 15 times, all from courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull worth $19. It's also shown up in Pokémon Starter Pack openings, so if you're chasing this one from a live pack site, that's the product to keep an eye on. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble no matter how you slice it, most rips don't cover their cost, and Empoleon FB is a nice card to land but not one you should count on to carry a box.

Is Empoleon FB worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth $165 compared to just $4 raw, that's roughly 44.1 times the value. Just know that a Grade 9 still holds strong value at $416, so grading only makes sense if you're confident the card is in genuinely sharp condition before you send it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Empoleon FB worth?+
A PSA 10 Empoleon FB is currently valued at $165. Out of 678 total graded copies, 165 have reached that gem mint grade, so it's achievable but far from guaranteed.
