Question 1

Is Entei worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Entei runs about $6, a Grade 9 sits at $20, and a PSA 10 commands $66, which works out to roughly 10.9 times the raw price. That's a meaningful jump, no argument there. But grading isn't free, and it isn't guaranteed either. What's interesting with this card is that of the 2,098 total graded copies out there, 1,714 have come back PSA 10, so this particular Entei seems to grade well when the copy going in is already sharp. Still, you're paying grading fees and shipping either way, and a card with a soft corner or a slightly off-center cut can land you a Grade 9 instead of a 10, which narrows that gap fast. If your raw copy looks clean under a loupe, it's a reasonable bet. If it's got visible wear, you're probably better off keeping it raw or selling it as is.

Question 2

How rare is Entei?

Accepted Answer

With 2,098 total graded copies recorded and 1,714 of those sitting at PSA 10, Entei isn't a card you'd call rare in the traditional sense, but the population tells its own story. A large majority of graded copies have hit gem mint, which suggests this print holds up well and doesn't punish collectors the way some fragile holos do. That's good news if you're chasing a 10, though it also means the ceiling on price stays modest since PSA 10s aren't scarce relative to the overall population. Scarcity here is less about how many exist and more about the fact that most of what's graded is already top tier.

Question 3

Where can you pull Entei?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we've recorded Entei pulled 55 times across sites including courtyard and collector-crypt, plus general pack openings. It's shown up in products like the Pokémon Starter Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Wildcard Basic Pack, Wildcard 3: Inferno, and the Pokémon Pro Pack, so it's not tied to one single release you have to hunt down. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card is $860, which is a reminder that pack odds can swing wildly and most opens won't land anywhere near that. Opening packs for a specific card like Entei is really a gamble, and the numbers say most rips don't come out ahead, so go in with that expectation rather than chasing the outlier.

Question 4

How much is Entei worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Entei from the Japanese Shiny Treasure ex set is valued at about $6 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $20 and a PSA 10 reaching $66, so condition makes a real difference to the final Entei price.

Question 5

Is Entei worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for roughly 10.9 times the raw price. With 1,714 of the 2,098 graded copies already sitting at PSA 10, this card does seem to grade well, but factor in grading fees and only send in copies that look clean to your eye first.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Entei worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Entei is currently valued at $66, well above the $6 raw price and the $20 mark for a Grade 9. That premium reflects the jump in demand for gem mint copies, even though this print has a fairly high rate of PSA 10s among its graded population.

Grade	Value	Population	PSA / CGC
PSA 10 (Gem Mint)	$69	1,745	531 / 1,214
PSA 9	$20	293	74 / 219
PSA 8	$16	76	7 / 69
PSA 7	-	15	2 / 13
PSA 6	-	5	1 / 4
