Koffing — collector's take
Is Koffing worth grading?
So is it worth sending Koffing off to get graded? A raw copy sits at $29, and a PSA 10 brings that up to $296, which works out to about 10.2 times the ungraded price. That is a real jump, no question. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: hitting a perfect 10 on a common card from 2004 is not guaranteed just because the card looks clean to your eye. A Grade 9 lands at $89, which is a solid middle ground if a corner or the centering is not quite flawless. Grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all add up, so before you submit, think honestly about the condition of your copy and whether the potential payout is worth the gamble. For a lot of collectors, a nice raw or Grade 9 copy is a perfectly satisfying way to own this card.
How rare is it?
Koffing was printed as a common in Team Rocket Returns, so it was never scarce in the way a rare holo or 1st edition card might be. That said, common does not mean worthless, and the value climbs fast once you get into gem mint territory, since fewer copies survive packs and years of handling in flawless shape. The jump from $29 raw to $296 for a PSA 10 tells you plenty about how much condition matters here, even on a card that was easy to pull back in the day.
Where to pull it
We track real pack pulls across sites like courtyard and collector-crypt, and Koffing has shown up 56 times in our records so far, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $205. It has turned up in packs like the Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack. That is the kind of cross-site data most price guides just do not have, and it is worth remembering that opening packs is still a gamble where most rips do not beat what you paid. If you are chasing Koffing specifically, watching where it has actually hit before is a smarter starting point than opening blind.
