Infernape — collector's take
Is Infernape worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Infernape price at each grade: raw is $13, a Grade 9 sits at $26, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $149, which works out to about 11.5 times the raw value. That's a real incentive to grade, but gem mint is not a given. Illustration rares like this one show every whitening and surface flaw under grading lights, so a copy that looks perfect to your eye can still come back a 9. Factor in grading fees, shipping, and the wait time before you commit, and only send in copies that are genuinely sharp on all four corners and clean on the surface. If you're chasing that PSA 10 number, go in knowing it's a gamble on top of a gamble.
How rare is it?
Across all grading companies, 8,028 copies of Infernape have been graded so far, and of those, 3,617 have come back a perfect PSA 10. That's actually a healthy chunk of the population landing at the top grade, which tells you this card grades reasonably well when the copy is clean going in. Still, with over 8,000 in the population, Infernape isn't a scarce card in absolute terms, it's the PSA 10 premium that reflects how much collectors are willing to pay for that gem mint label rather than raw rarity alone.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually helps, because we've recorded Infernape pulled 200 or more times across sites like courtyard, tilt-rips, and collector-crypt. That's a real, repeatable pull, not a rumor. We've seen it show up in Pokémon Starter Packs, Pokemon Mini Packs, Pokemon Premium Packs, and even a Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it spans both budget and premium openings. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card sits at $309, which is a nice reminder that pack odds swing both ways, most rips don't hit that high, so treat opening packs as entertainment first and a possible bonus second.
Questions people ask
How much is Infernape worth?
A raw, ungraded Infernape is valued at $13. Once graded, a Grade 9 moves up to $26, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $149, which is roughly 11.5 times the raw price.
Is Infernape worth grading?
It can be, since the jump from $13 raw to $149 at PSA 10 is significant. But grading costs money and takes time, and not every copy comes back gem mint, so only submit copies that look genuinely clean under close inspection.
