Tap to open
Grimmsnarl VMAX is one of the standout Holo Rare VMAX pulls from Darkness Ablaze, the 2020 set that gave us some genuinely striking artwork courtesy of 5ban Graphics, and this one is no exception. If you're trying to pin down Grimmsnarl VMAX value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits around $3, which makes it an accessible card for most collectors even if it's not the priciest chase in the set. It's the kind of card that looks better in person than a spec sheet ever suggests, which is part of why people still hunt it down years later.

The collector's take on Grimmsnarl VMAX
Is Grimmsnarl VMAX worth grading?
So is Grimmsnarl VMAX worth grading? Let's talk numbers first. A raw copy runs about $3, a Grade 9 jumps to $14, and a PSA 10 sits at $33, which works out to roughly 12.7 times what you'd get for the ungraded card. That's a real multiplier, no question. But here's the honest part: hitting a PSA 10 on a VMAX card isn't a given, the surface and edges on these bigger holo patterns show wear easily, and grading fees plus shipping and the waiting game all eat into that potential profit. If you've got a copy that already looks gem mint under a loupe, sending it in can make sense. If it's got a soft corner or a scuff you're hoping the grader won't notice, you're better off enjoying it raw or trading it as is.
How rare is Grimmsnarl VMAX?
Grimmsnarl VMAX carries the Holo Rare VMAX rarity tag, which puts it in that upper tier of Darkness Ablaze pulls that collectors specifically look for when they crack packs from this set. We don't have exact population figures to point to here, but VMAX cards from this era were never handed out as commons, they're the kind of card that shows up occasionally rather than constantly. That relative scarcity is part of what keeps a healthy gap between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 prices, since a clean high grade copy is genuinely harder to land than the market price alone suggests.
Where can you pull Grimmsnarl VMAX?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we've recorded Grimmsnarl VMAX pulled 200 or more times across real pack sites including tilt-rips, collector-crypt, courtyard, and lastpack, plus general pack openings elsewhere. The biggest single pull we've logged for this card came in at $31, which gives you a real sense of the upside without any guesswork. We've also seen it turn up in specific pack types like the Rookie Pack, Novice Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and various starter packs, so if you're chasing this one, those are worth keeping an eye on. Just remember that pack opening is fundamentally a gamble, and most rips don't come out ahead financially, so treat any hit as a nice bonus rather than the plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Grimmsnarl VMAX worth?+
A raw or ungraded Grimmsnarl VMAX from Darkness Ablaze is worth about $3 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting around $14 and a PSA 10 reaching $33. Where your copy lands depends entirely on its condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Grimmsnarl VMAX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth roughly 12.7 times the raw price. But gem mint copies aren't easy to pull off with VMAX cards, and grading costs money and time regardless of the outcome, so it really only makes sense if your copy is already in excellent shape.
How much is a PSA 10 Grimmsnarl VMAX worth?+
A PSA 10, gem mint Grimmsnarl VMAX is currently valued at $33. That's a solid jump over the raw card's $3 value, but reaching that grade takes a genuinely clean copy with sharp corners and no surface flaws.
