Tap to open
Kingler is that solid, dependable Uncommon from the 1999 Fossil set, the kind of card that reminds you how simple and charming early Pokemon design really was. Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, it's never going to be the star of anyone's binder, but if you're searching Kingler value or wondering how much is Kingler worth, you're in good company since a lot of collectors are curious about these quieter Fossil cards too. Right now a raw copy sits at $2, which tells you plainly where it lives in the hobby: a fun piece of history, not a retirement plan.

The collector's take on Kingler
Is Kingler worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Kingler price when it comes to grading: a raw copy is $2, a Grade 9 comes in at $24, and a PSA 10 sits at $86, which works out to about 45.8 times the raw price. That jump looks tempting on paper, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on a card this old, print lines and centering issues from 1999 production don't do you any favors. Once you factor in grading fees and the real chance your Kingler comes back a 9 instead of a 10, this is a card best graded because you love it and want it preserved, not because you're chasing a payout.
How rare is Kingler?
There's no population data locked in yet for Kingler across the grading services, but Uncommon cards from Fossil were never printed with the scarcity of a holo rare, so raw copies tend to be easy to find in bulk lots and old collections. That relative abundance is exactly why the raw price stays low and why the real value only shows up once a copy earns a high grade. A clean PSA 10 stands out simply because so few Fossil commons and uncommons were preserved with that kind of care back in the day, not because the set itself was scarce.
Where can you pull Kingler?
PackSpy has tracked Kingler getting pulled 7 times across pack sites, specifically courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $94, a nice reminder that even a modest card can have a good day. We've also seen it turn up in packs like the Pokemon Starter Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokemon Pro Pack, Pokemon Master Pack, and Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack. That's the kind of cross-site tracking a price guide can't give you, and it's worth remembering that opening packs for value is a gamble where most rips don't beat the price of the pack, so treat any Kingler pull as a nice bonus rather than the plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Kingler worth?+
A raw, ungraded Kingler from the 1999 Fossil set is worth $2 right now. It's an Uncommon card, so the value stays modest unless it's been graded, and even then the jump depends heavily on the grade it earns.
Is Kingler worth grading?+
It depends on your goal. A PSA 10 brings $86 and a Grade 9 brings $24 against a $2 raw card, which sounds great until you weigh grading fees and the real risk of not hitting gem mint, so grade it for love of the card first.
How much is a PSA 10 Kingler worth?+
A PSA 10 Kingler is valued at $86, which is about 45.8 times the raw price of $2. It's a nice reward for a clean copy, but landing that grade on a 1999 Fossil card takes a genuinely sharp, well preserved example.
