The collector's take on Gloom
Is Gloom worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw Gloom sits at $26, a Grade 9 gets you to $45, and a clean PSA 10 jumps all the way to $309, which works out to 11.9 times the raw price. That's a real jump, no question. But gem mint is not a given here, plenty of copies come back as an 8 or 9 because of print lines or edge wear you can't always spot with the naked eye. Grading fees and turnaround time eat into that upside, so if you're sending one in, do it because you genuinely think the copy is sharp, not just because the math looks good on paper.
How rare is Gloom?
There are 11,660 graded copies of Gloom on record, and out of those, 2,413 have earned a PSA 10. That's a decent chunk landing in gem mint, honestly higher than a lot of cards from this era, which tells you Gloom isn't the hardest card to find in top shape. What it does mean is that the PSA 10 price reflects real demand for a clean copy, not just scarcity for scarcity's sake. If you're chasing population report bragging rights, this isn't the card, but if you just want a nice copy for your binder, the odds are in your favor.
Where can you pull Gloom?
We've tracked 117 pulls of Gloom across collector-crypt and courtyard, so it does show up if you're opening the right packs. It's turned up in the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack. The best recorded pull came in at $310, which lines up almost exactly with what a PSA 10 fetches on the open market, so someone got lucky and pulled a card worth grading right out of the pack. That said, most packs won't hand you a Gloom worth much more than the raw price, and opening packs is still a gamble where the house usually wins, so go in with your eyes open.
Questions people ask
How much is Gloom worth?+
A raw, ungraded Gloom from Obsidian Flames is worth around $26. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $45 and a PSA 10 reaching $309. So the exact number really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Gloom worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 11.9 times the raw price. But gem mint isn't guaranteed, and grading costs money and time, so it's worth it mainly if your copy looks sharp under a light before you send it in.
What set is Gloom from?+
Gloom #198 is from the Obsidian Flames set. It's part of a larger population of 11,660 graded copies, with 2,413 of those earning a PSA 10 grade.
