Tap to open
Grafaiai is one of those illustration rares that stops you mid-scroll, a Paldea Evolved pull from 2023 with artwork from Oswaldo KATO that leans into the character's weird, sticky-tongued charm. If you're trying to figure out Grafaiai's value, the short version is that it's an affordable illustration rare in raw form, sitting at $9, but the story changes quite a bit once grading gets involved. Collectors like it because it's accessible now but still has that illustration rare pull that makes people stop and look twice.

The collector's take on Grafaiai
Is Grafaiai worth grading?
Here's the honest answer on whether Grafaiai is worth grading: a PSA 10 sits at $147, which works out to about 16.2 times the raw price of $9, and that gap is real money if you land a gem mint copy. But landing that gem mint copy is the hard part. Grading costs money and takes time no matter how the card comes back, and a card that grades a 9 instead of a 10 can land you at $399, which is actually higher here than the PSA 10 figure, showing how unpredictable the middle grades can be for this card. If your copy already has a soft corner or a print line, it's probably better off staying raw or being sold ungraded rather than gambling on a grading fee.
How rare is Grafaiai?
Across every grading company combined, there are 861 graded copies of Grafaiai on record, and only 197 of those have made it all the way to a PSA 10. That's roughly one in every four and a half graded copies hitting gem mint, which tells you this card isn't impossible to grade well, but it's far from a guarantee either. That population spread is a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw card, scarcity at the top end tends to do that.
Where can you pull Grafaiai?
We track real pack openings across sites, not just price guide estimates, and Grafaiai has shown up 8 times in our records so far, all from lastpack. The biggest recorded pull value for this card was $9, and we've also spotted it appearing in packs called noobie and trainer. It's worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble no matter how good the odds look on paper, most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any pull of Grafaiai as a nice bonus rather than something to chase specifically.
Questions people ask
How much is Grafaiai worth?+
A raw, ungraded Grafaiai from Paldea Evolved currently sits around $9. That's the baseline most collectors reference when asking about Grafaiai's value, before grading gets factored in.
Is Grafaiai worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. A PSA 10 can reach $147, about 16.2 times the raw price, but a Grade 9 has actually been valued higher at $399, so grading isn't a simple straight line up. With only 197 of the 861 graded copies reaching PSA 10, it's worth weighing the grading fee against the real chance your copy lands lower.
How much is a PSA 10 Grafaiai worth?+
A PSA 10 Grafaiai is valued at $147. Out of 861 total graded copies recorded, 197 have achieved that gem mint PSA 10 grade.
