Grimer Reverse Holo #78 Value
Legendary Collection · Card 78/110 · Common · 2002
Grimer here comes from the Legendary Collection set, that 2002 reprint set that gave a lot of us a second shot at cards we missed the first time around. This particular version is a reverse holo, card #78, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, and even though it's a common, that shimmer on the background makes it a fun one to actually pull versus just owning the base print. If you're looking into Grimer value right now, the short version is that a raw copy sits at $92, and that number climbs a lot once grading enters the picture.

Grimer — collector's take
Is Grimer worth grading?
So is Grimer worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $92, a Grade 9 jumps to $601, and a PSA 10 sits at $2,089, which works out to about 22.7 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting to send every copy in. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on these older reverse holos, the print lines and centering on Legendary Collection cards aren't always forgiving, and grading fees plus turnaround time and shipping risk are real costs you eat regardless of what grade comes back. If your raw copy already looks sharp under a loupe, corners clean, no surface scratches, it's worth the gamble. If it's a rough copy, save your money and let it live raw.
How rare is it?
Across every submission on record, only 753 copies of this Grimer have ever been graded, and just 63 of those came back a PSA 10. That's a tight window at the top. It tells you gem mint copies aren't sitting around waiting to be bought, and it's a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers. Scarcity like this doesn't guarantee a card's value holds forever, but it does mean each true gem mint copy is genuinely hard to replace.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in, and it's the kind of thing a price guide just can't tell you. We've tracked 49 recorded pulls of this Grimer across collector-crypt, mnstr, and courtyard, showing up in packs like the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pack 1, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack. The biggest pull we've logged for this card came in at $240. That's a solid number for a common, but it's also a reminder that most pack opens don't land anywhere near that, opening packs is a gamble more than a plan, and plenty of rips lose money. If you want this exact card in hand without the risk, buying raw or graded on the secondary market is usually the more predictable route.

Is Grimer worth grading?
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at 22.7 times the raw price of $92. Just know that only 63 out of 753 graded copies have hit that top grade, so gem mint isn't a sure thing, and grading always carries some cost and risk.
What set is Grimer from?
This Grimer is from the Legendary Collection set, released in 2002. It's a common card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, and this particular printing is the reverse holo version, card #78.
