The collector's take on Excadrill ex
Is Excadrill ex worth grading?
So is Excadrill ex worth grading? A PSA 10 brings $84, which works out to 3.6 times the $23 raw price, and that jump is real money if you can hit gem mint. The catch is that hitting a true PSA 10 is not guaranteed, even on a card that looks perfect to your eye, corners and centering get picky at that level. A Grade 9 only nets you $24, barely more than raw, so the whole case for grading this one hinges on pulling a genuine gem mint copy. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you send it in, because if you land a 9 instead of a 10, you have mostly just paid for a plastic slab and a wait.
How rare is Excadrill ex?
Right now there are 3,019 graded copies of Excadrill ex on record, and a big chunk of that, 2,166 to be exact, are already sitting at PSA 10. That tells you gem mint copies are not exactly rare in the graded population, which helps explain why the PSA 10 price sits where it does rather than shooting into the hundreds. It is a young card from a young set, so the population numbers will likely keep climbing as more people grade their pulls, and that is worth keeping in mind if you are holding one and hoping for scarcity to drive the price later.
Where can you pull Excadrill ex?
We have tracked Excadrill ex being pulled 9 times across packs on the sites we monitor, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $28, and sightings coming from Black and White EX and Pokemon Current. That is not a huge number of pulls, which lines up with it being a newer card that has not flooded the market yet. If you are chasing this one specifically, know that most people who own a copy right now bought it on the secondary market rather than pulling it themselves, and pack odds are always a gamble where the house edge is real, so treat any rip as entertainment first and investment second.
