Question 1

Is Hitmontop worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Hitmontop worth grading? Here's the honest picture: a PSA 10 sits at 11.0x the raw price, which sounds like a big multiple, and on paper it is. But look closer and you'll notice something worth knowing before you send a copy in, a Grade 9 is actually fetching $89 right now, more than the $44 a PSA 10 is bringing. That's not a typo, markets shift and sometimes a near-perfect grade holds more demand than the top pop slot. Grading costs money and time, and you don't control the outcome, a card that looks flawless to your eye can still come back a 9 instead of a 10. Given the numbers here, grading only makes sense if you already love the card and want it protected, not as a guaranteed profit play.

Question 2

How rare is Hitmontop?

Accepted Answer

Right now there are 246 graded copies of Hitmontop on record, and of those, 44 have earned a PSA 10. That's roughly one in every five and a half graded copies hitting gem mint, which tells you two things: this isn't an ultra-rare pop report where PSA 10s are basically mythical, but it also isn't a card where perfect copies are sitting around everywhere. That balance is likely a big part of why the PSA 10 and Grade 9 prices sit where they do, there's enough supply at the top to keep a lid on runaway pricing, but not so much that a gem mint copy feels common.

Question 3

Where can you pull Hitmontop?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because we don't just quote a price guide, we watch real pack sites open real packs. Hitmontop has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, so this isn't a card that only exists in old collections, people are still ripping it out of packs today. It's turned up in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack, and the biggest recorded pull for it came in at $136. Worth remembering though, pack opening is a gamble no matter how you slice it, most rips don't come close to that number, so if you're chasing this one for the thrill, go in with your eyes open.

Question 4

How much is Hitmontop worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Hitmontop #237 from the Japanese Promo set is valued around $4. Once you factor in grading, the numbers shift quite a bit, with a Grade 9 sitting at $89 and a PSA 10 at $44, so condition and grading really do change the conversation around Hitmontop price.

Question 5

Is Hitmontop worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you're hoping for. A PSA 10 is worth 11.0x the raw card, but interestingly the Grade 9 price of $89 currently outpaces the PSA 10 price of $44, so grading isn't a straightforward upgrade here. If you're grading purely to chase profit, weigh the submission cost against those numbers first.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Hitmontop worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Hitmontop is valued at $44, which works out to 11.0x the raw card's value. There are 44 PSA 10 copies out of 246 total graded, so gem mint copies exist but they're not the majority of what's out there.

PSA 10 (Gem Mint)	$335	44
PSA 9	$38	89
PSA 8	$30	56
