The collector's take on Ethan's Cyndaquil
Is Ethan's Cyndaquil worth grading?
So is Ethan's Cyndaquil worth grading? Right now a raw copy sits at $1, while a PSA 10 brings $36, which works out to about 27.4 times the raw price. That's a real jump on paper, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into a card sitting at this price point, and a Grade 9 only fetches $12. Gem mint is never guaranteed either, centering and edges on cards like this can be unforgiving. Honestly, unless you've got a stack of copies to run through at once or you just want the peace of mind of a graded slab, this is more of a fun project than a money maker.
How rare is Ethan's Cyndaquil?
There's no official population data to lean on here, so it's hard to say exactly how many gem mint copies exist. What we can say is that PackSpy has recorded Ethan's Cyndaquil pulled 39 times across the sites we track, which gives a decent sense of how often it actually surfaces compared to the flashier chase cards in a set. Lower pull counts on a common-tier card like this usually mean less supply floating around in graded form, which is part of why a clean PSA 10 can command that kind of multiple over a raw copy even when the base price stays low.
Where can you pull Ethan's Cyndaquil?
We've tracked Ethan's Cyndaquil turning up 39 times across collector-crypt and courtyard, most often in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard 3: Inferno, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. The biggest pull we've logged for it hit $628, which shows that even a modest card like this can land in a big multi-card box and ride the wave of a great overall hit. That said, opening packs is a gamble no matter what card you're chasing, most rips don't come close to that number, so treat it as a bonus if it happens rather than the plan.
