Tap to open
Gligar is one of those quietly likeable cards from the Dragon Frontiers set, a 2006 release that still turns heads with its Kagemaru Himeno artwork. As a Rare numbered 16, it's not the kind of card that makes headlines, but if you're digging into Gligar value, it's a solid little piece of that era's checklist. Right now the raw, ungraded price sits at $3, which tells you it's an affordable card to chase for nostalgia or a set run.

The collector's take on Gligar
Is Gligar worth grading?
So is Gligar worth grading? Honestly, it depends on what you're hoping to get out of it. A PSA 10 comes in at $8, which works out to about 2.7 times the raw price of $3, and a Grade 9 lands at $18. That Grade 9 number is actually the stronger return here, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes don't always follow a straight line up to gem mint. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back at the grade you're hoping for, so weigh the fee against what you'd realistically get back before sending one in.
How rare is Gligar?
Only 100 copies of Gligar have been graded in total, and out of those, 34 have earned a PSA 10. That's a fairly high share of gem mint copies relative to the total population, which suggests that when Gligar does get graded, it holds up reasonably well. Still, with just 100 graded copies overall, this isn't a card you'll find with a deep, established grading history, and that thinner population is part of why price swings can happen when a fresh copy or two hits the market.
Where can you pull Gligar?
Our tracker has recorded Gligar pulled 3 times, all from courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull value coming in at $9 out of the Pokémon Basic Pack. That's not a huge sample, so if you're opening packs hoping to land one, treat it as a nice surprise rather than something to count on. Most collectors end up sourcing their Gligar copies through the secondary market instead, and that's worth remembering generally: pack opening is a gamble, and most rips don't come out ahead financially, even when the pull itself is fun.
Questions people ask
How much is Gligar worth?+
A raw, ungraded Gligar is currently valued at $3. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $18 and a PSA 10 at $8, so the exact worth really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Gligar worth grading?+
It can be, but it's not a guaranteed win. The PSA 10 price is about 2.7 times the raw price, and with only 100 copies graded so far, 34 of them PSA 10, there's real variability in outcomes, so factor in the grading fee and the chance your copy doesn't come back gem mint.
How much is a PSA 10 Gligar worth?+
A PSA 10 Gligar is valued at $8, which is roughly 2.7 times the $3 raw price. With 34 PSA 10 copies out of a population of 100 graded total, gem mint isn't rare in relative terms, but it's still the top grade collectors look for.
