The collector's take on Heracross
Is Heracross worth grading?
So is Heracross worth grading? Let's talk it through. A raw copy runs about $4, and a PSA 10 sits at $8, which works out to roughly 1.9x the ungraded price. That's a real jump, but here's the honest part: hitting a true gem mint 10 isn't guaranteed just because a card looks clean to your eye. Grading costs money and takes time, and if your copy comes back a Grade 9 instead of a 10, you're looking at just $2, which is actually less than what you'd get selling it raw. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe with clean edges and centering, it might be worth the shot. If there's any doubt, sometimes it's smarter to just enjoy the card raw and save the grading fee for something with a bigger spread.
How rare is Heracross?
Scarcity is where Heracross gets genuinely interesting. Across every grading submission on record, there are only 18 graded copies of this card in existence, and of those, 12 have earned the PSA 10 label. That's a small population any way you slice it, and it tells you two things: not many people bother submitting this card for grading, and when they do, gem mint condition happens more often than not for the ones that make it in. With such a tight population, individual sales can swing the perceived value around more than they would for a heavily graded card, so keep that in mind if you're watching the market closely.
Where can you pull Heracross?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pack pulls across sites, not just guesses. Heracross has been pulled 95 times across courtyard, tilt-rips, mnstr, and collector-crypt, so it's not a card you can count on landing but it's far from a ghost either. It's shown up in packs like the Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pack 1, and The Amazing Chase Encore. The biggest recorded pull value tied to this card hit $400, a nice reminder that even a modest little card can carry excitement in the right pack. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is gambling, and most rips don't come out ahead, so treat it as entertainment first and value second.
Questions people ask
How much is Heracross worth?+
A raw, ungraded Heracross #12 from the Japanese HeartGold Collection set is valued at $4. It's a low-cost card that's easy to pick up for collectors who just want it in their binder or set.
Is Heracross worth grading?+
It depends on your copy's condition. A PSA 10 brings $8, about 1.9x the raw price, but a Grade 9 only fetches $2, so the gap between a great grade and a good one is significant. With only 18 total graded copies out there, it's clearly not a card many people rush to submit, so weigh the grading cost against your copy's actual condition before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Heracross worth?+
A PSA 10 Heracross is worth $8, which is roughly 1.9 times the raw price of $4. Of the 18 total graded copies recorded, 12 have reached that PSA 10 gem mint status.
