The collector's take on Ethan's Ho-Oh ex
Is Ethan's Ho-Oh ex worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Honestly, it depends on what you're chasing. A PSA 10 on this card pulls $443, which works out to about 2.8 times what the raw copy is worth, and a Grade 9 lands at $176, a much smaller bump. That gap between a 9 and a 10 is the whole story with grading: gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, especially on a full-art card like this where edges, centering, and surface all have to line up perfectly. Grading costs money and time no matter what comes back, so if your copy has any visible wear, it might make more sense to enjoy it raw or sell it as is rather than gamble on a gem mint result.
How rare is Ethan's Ho-Oh ex?
We don't have official population figures to lean on here, but the special illustration rare tier itself tells you a lot. These cards are printed at a noticeably lower rate than standard rares in a set, which is exactly why they carry weight with collectors and why the price holds up well compared to more common pulls from Destined Rivals. Scarcity at this rarity level isn't about a printed number, it's about how often you actually see one show up in a real pack versus how often people are hunting for it, and that imbalance is a big part of what keeps Ethan's Ho-Oh ex price where it is.
Where can you pull Ethan's Ho-Oh ex?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. We've recorded Ethan's Ho-Oh ex pulled 92 times so far across courtyard, collector-crypt, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $662. It's shown up in a handful of different pack types too, including the Wildcard Starter Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, so if you're chasing this one, those are the packs worth watching. Just keep in mind that opening packs is a gamble by nature, most rips don't come close to covering what you spend, so treat any pull of this card as a nice surprise rather than something to count on.
