The collector's take on Great Tusk ex
Is Great Tusk ex worth grading?
So is Great Tusk ex worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $13, a Grade 9 gets you to $22, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $94, which works out to about 7.2 times the raw price. That gap looks tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a special illustration rare like this since any whitening on the edges or a soft corner from the pack will knock it down a grade. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you want to be honest with yourself about the centering and surface before you submit. If the card already looks clean under a loupe, grading can make sense. If it is borderline, sometimes it is smarter to just enjoy it raw or sell as is.
How rare is Great Tusk ex?
Across all grading companies, only 3,712 copies of Great Tusk ex have been graded so far, and of those, 1,733 have come back PSA 10. That is actually a fairly healthy gem rate for a modern illustration rare, which helps explain why the PSA 10 price, while a nice premium, is not astronomical. Scarcity here is real but not extreme, this is a card with a solid population that keeps the market steady rather than speculative.
Where can you pull Great Tusk ex?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking earns its keep, because we watch real pack openings across sites like collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and courtyard rather than guessing. Great Tusk ex has been pulled 200 or more times across those three sites combined, showing up in products like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack. The biggest recorded pull value we have logged for this card sits at $85, a nice reminder that pack odds vary and most rips do not come close to that. If you are opening packs hoping for this one, treat it as a fun long shot rather than a plan, and know that plenty of collectors just buy the card outright on the secondary market instead.
