The collector's take on Koffing
Is Koffing worth grading?
So is Koffing worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A raw copy runs about $3, and a PSA 10 sits at $12, which works out to roughly 4.0x the raw price. That's a real jump, but it's worth remembering grading has its own costs and turnaround time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. Interestingly, a Grade 9 here is worth the same $12 as a PSA 10, so if your copy has even a small flaw, you're not necessarily leaving money on the table by grading it anyway. Still, for a $3 card, the math only really makes sense if you're grading in bulk, doing it for the love of the hobby, or you already suspect you're holding something close to perfect.
How rare is Koffing?
Here's where Koffing gets genuinely interesting. Only 42 graded copies exist in total, which is a tight population for any card. What's surprising is that 22 of those, more than half, are PSA 10s. That tells you this particular card, when it survives in collectible condition at all, tends to grade well. It's not a card where gem mint is some impossible unicorn. But with such a small overall population, every graded copy still carries some weight and scarcity value simply because so few people have bothered to send this one in.
Where can you pull Koffing?
This is where PackSpy's data earns its keep, because we don't just guess at rarity, we track real pulls across live pack sites. Koffing has been pulled 200 or more times across platforms like tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, and mnstr, so it's genuinely out there in circulation, not some ghost card. We've also recorded it showing up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pack 1, and Pokémon Starter Pack. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card sits at $205, which shows what's possible when the right buyer wants it, even if most individual pulls land closer to that $3 raw baseline. Worth saying plainly: pack pulls are a gamble, and most rips won't beat what you paid, so treat this as a fun bonus, not a strategy.
Questions people ask
How much is Koffing worth?+
A raw, ungraded Koffing 1st Edition #4 from Rocket Gang Strikes Back is worth about $3. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 at $12 and a PSA 10 also at $12, so top condition really pays off here.
Is Koffing worth grading?+
It can be. A PSA 10 sells for around 4.0x the raw price, jumping from $3 to $12, and even a Grade 9 matches that $12 figure. Just factor in grading fees and the fact that only 42 copies have been graded so far, so results aren't guaranteed.
Why is the Koffing 1st Edition #4 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st Edition cards were part of an early, limited print run before the standard, unlimited version took over, which makes them scarcer and more sought after by collectors. That extra scarcity is a big part of why 1st Edition copies like this one carry a premium over later reprints.
