Tap to open
Fossil Excavation Site #79 is one of those quiet trainer cards from the Japanese Abyss Eye set that most people scroll past until they actually pull one and start wondering what it's worth. It won't headline anyone's collection, but there's something satisfying about tracking down a niche set piece like this, especially when you're checking Fossil Excavation Site value against real sale and pull data instead of guessing. Raw copies sit around $1, so this is very much a fun-collector card rather than an investment piece, and that's okay.

The collector's take on Fossil Excavation Site
Is Fossil Excavation Site worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Let's be honest about the math first: a raw copy runs about $1, while a PSA 10 sells for $37, which works out to roughly 25.0x the ungraded price. That sounds like a big jump, and it is, but remember grading fees, shipping, and turnaround time all eat into that gap, and gem mint is never guaranteed even on a card that looks perfect to the naked eye. A Grade 9 lands at $12, which is a nice middle ground if your copy has a soft corner or slight print line. For a $1 card, my honest take is only send it in if you already love the card or you're bundling it with other submissions, since the grading cost alone can outweigh the potential return on a single low-value piece like this.
How rare is Fossil Excavation Site?
We don't have official population counts to lean on here, so it's hard to say exactly how many PSA 10s exist versus Grade 9s or raw copies still floating around. What we can say is that Fossil Excavation Site sits in that lower-value tier of the Abyss Eye set, the kind of card that's plentiful enough to keep raw prices low but still capable of surprising you in top grade. Scarcity at the very top end (true gem mint) is usually what drives that 25.0x multiplier we mentioned, even without exact population data to point to.
Where can you pull Fossil Excavation Site?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep. We've recorded Fossil Excavation Site pulled 10 times so far, all traced through collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $32. It's shown up in Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack openings, so if you're chasing this one specifically, that's a real lead rather than a guess. Just keep in mind that pack odds are pack odds: opening packs is essentially a gamble, and most rips don't cover what you spend, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Fossil Excavation Site worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Fossil Excavation Site is worth about $1 right now. Grading can push that value up significantly, with a Grade 9 sitting at $12 and a PSA 10 reaching $37, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Fossil Excavation Site worth grading?+
It can be, especially if you already suspect you have a clean, gem mint copy, since a PSA 10 sells for about 25.0x the raw price. That said, on a $1 card the grading fees alone are a meaningful chunk of the potential return, so it's worth weighing the cost before sending it in solo.
How much is a PSA 10 Fossil Excavation Site worth?+
A PSA 10 copy of Fossil Excavation Site is currently valued at $37, compared to roughly $1 for a raw copy and $12 for a Grade 9. That's the kind of jump that makes gem mint copies worth chasing if you already have a sharp-looking card.
