Entei #34 is one of those old Promo era cards that just feels good to see in a binder, that classic Ken Sugimori artwork of the legendary beast mid-stride, straight from 1999. It's a Common by rarity, which means it was never scarce on release, but the Entei value story today has more to do with age and grading than print scarcity. Raw copies sit around $13, which makes it an easy, low stakes card to actually own and enjoy rather than lock away.

The collector's take on Entei

Is Entei worth grading?

Here's the honest math: a raw Entei runs about $13, a Grade 9 sits at $81, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,148, which works out to roughly 85.5 times the raw price. That jump looks tempting, but it's not free money. Grading costs money and time, turnaround isn't instant, and older Promo cards like this one often have centering or surface quirks from how they were originally packaged that keep them out of gem mint territory. If you've got a copy that looks genuinely sharp under a loupe, corners crisp and centering even, it's worth sending in. If it's a well loved card with soft edges, it'll likely grade a 7 or 8, and the raw or Grade 9 numbers are what you should plan around instead of dreaming about that PSA 10 payday.

How rare is it?

Entei's rarity tier is Common, so back in 1999 nobody was hunting it for scarcity's sake, it was just part of the Promo run collectors picked up along the way. What actually drives the value gap now is condition scarcity, not print scarcity. A quarter century of handling means clean, high grade survivors are genuinely hard to find, and that's exactly why a PSA 10 commands $1,148 while a well worn raw copy sits at a fraction of that. The card was never rare to obtain, but a flawless one certainly is.

Where to pull it

We've tracked 66 pulls of Entei across pack sites, mainly on courtyard and collector-crypt, and the biggest hit we've logged came in at $805. It shows up in a mix of packs, things like the Pokémon Pro Pack, Anime Pop Culture Gacha, Grail Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack. That said, pulling a high grade Entei is still a long shot, most packs won't net you anywhere close to that $805 outcome, and opening packs in general is a gamble where the odds favor the house more often than not. If you specifically want this card in your collection, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is usually the steadier path, but if you love the thrill of the rip, our pull data at least shows you where it's actually been showing up.

Questions people ask

How much is Entei worth?+

A raw, ungraded Entei #34 is valued at $13. Graded copies climb fast from there, with a Grade 9 at $81 and a PSA 10 gem mint copy reaching $1,148.

Is Entei worth grading?+

It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 is worth about 85.5 times the raw price, which is a real jump, but gem mint condition is tough to hit on older Promo cards, and grading fees eat into any profit if it comes back lower. If your card already looks sharp, it's a reasonable bet, otherwise the raw or Grade 9 value is the safer number to expect.

What set is Entei from?+

Entei #34 comes from the Promo set, released in 1999, and features artwork by Ken Sugimori. It's classified as a Common, which makes it an approachable, affordable piece of that early Pokemon era.
