The collector's take on Grimer
Is Grimer worth grading?
So is Grimer worth grading? A PSA 10 sits at $1,072 against a raw price of $39, which works out to 27.8 times the ungraded value, and that gap is hard to ignore. But a Grade 9 only brings $200, which shows how much of the value is tied up specifically in hitting that perfect gem mint grade, not just any high grade. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10, so if your Grimer has any visible wear, print lines, or soft corners, it might make more sense to sell it raw or hold onto it as a Grade 9 candidate rather than gamble on the top grade.
How rare is Grimer?
Across all grading companies, there are 3,822 graded copies of Grimer on record, and of those, 828 have earned the perfect PSA 10 grade. That's a meaningful chunk of the graded population sitting at the top, which tells you gem mint copies exist but they're still the minority, not the norm. For a card like this, population numbers matter almost as much as the price guide, because they show you exactly how much company you'd have at each grade level.
Where can you pull Grimer?
PackSpy has tracked 103 recorded pulls of Grimer across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard, and mnstr, so we've got real, independent data on where this card actually shows up, not just guesswork. It's turned up in packs like the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and simple listings like Pack 1 and Pack 2. The biggest recorded pull value for Grimer sits at $250, which is a nice reminder that even a card with a modest raw price can occasionally land big in a pack, though it's worth saying plainly that opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't come out ahead.
Questions people ask
How much is Grimer worth?+
A raw, ungraded Grimer #88 from the Japanese Rocket Gang set is valued at $39. Once graded, that value climbs quite a bit, up to $200 for a Grade 9 and $1,072 for a PSA 10, so condition and grading make a real difference here.
Is Grimer worth grading?+
It can be, especially if you think your copy has a real shot at PSA 10, since that grade is worth 27.8 times the raw price. But Grade 9 copies only bring $200, so grading is really only a clear win if the card is close to flawless, otherwise the cost and risk may not pay off.
How much is a PSA 10 Grimer worth?+
A PSA 10 Grimer is valued at $1,072. Out of 3,822 total graded copies on record, 828 have reached that PSA 10 grade, so it's achievable but still represents the top tier of the population.
