Tap to open
Forretress #2 is one of those steady, dependable rares from the 2001 Neo Discovery set that collectors keep coming back to, partly for the nostalgia and partly because it still holds real value two decades later. If you are searching for a Forretress value check, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $19 right now, with graded copies climbing well beyond that. It is not a flashy chase card, but it has a loyal following and a price history worth understanding before you buy, sell, or grade one.

The collector's take on Forretress
Is Forretress worth grading?
So is Forretress worth grading? It depends on what you are hoping to get out of it. A raw copy runs $19, a Grade 9 brings $79, and a true PSA 10 gem mint jumps all the way to $529, which works out to about 27.8 times the raw price. That is a real gap, and it is tempting. But gem mint copies are genuinely hard to land, centering and edge wear on cards from this era catch a lot of submissions off guard, and grading fees plus shipping and wait times eat into any profit if you land a 9 instead of a 10. If you already own a sharp-looking copy and love the process, it can be worth the gamble. If you are buying raw purely to flip after grading, go in knowing the odds are not guaranteed in your favor.
How rare is Forretress?
Forretress carries the Rare tag from Neo Discovery, a set that came out in 2001 and has had two decades for its population to spread across the hobby through collections, trades, and eventual grading submissions. We do not track exact population counts on this one, but Rare-tier cards from this era tend to be scarcer at the high end simply because fewer people graded cards back then, and print runs from 2001 are nowhere near the scale of modern sets. That scarcity in top condition is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers. Supply of gem mint copies is thin, and demand for a clean piece of Neo Discovery history keeps that price firm.
Where can you pull Forretress?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we have recorded Forretress pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $35. It has shown up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it is not a card you need to hunt down on secondary market listings alone. That said, pulling packs is still a gamble more often than not, most rips do not cover their cost, and Forretress landing in your favor is a nice bonus rather than something to bank on. If you are opening packs anyway, it is genuinely one of the more realistic hits to land from these lineups.
Questions people ask
How much is Forretress worth?+
A raw, ungraded Forretress #2 from Neo Discovery is valued at $19. Graded copies are worth considerably more, with a Grade 9 at $79 and a PSA 10 reaching $529, so condition makes a big difference here.
Is Forretress worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is genuinely sharp, since a PSA 10 sells for about 27.8 times the raw price of $19. Just know that gem mint grades are not easy to hit, and grading costs and time should factor into your decision before you send it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Forretress worth?+
A PSA 10 Forretress is valued at $529, a significant jump from the $19 raw price and the $79 Grade 9 price. That gap reflects just how much collectors are willing to pay for a perfectly preserved copy of this Neo Discovery rare.
