The collector's take on Lairon

Is Lairon worth grading?

Here's the honest math on Lairon price across grades: raw sits at $6, a Grade 9 climbs to $17, and a true PSA 10 commands $75, which works out to 13.2 times what the raw card sells for. That's a real jump, but gem mint is called gem mint for a reason. Illustration rares like this one often show whitening or print texture along the edges that keeps them out of that top grade, so before you send one in, think about grading fees, turnaround time, and whether the card in your hand actually looks flawless under a light. If it's centered well and the surface is clean, it's worth a shot. If you're on the fence, it's rarely a disaster to just enjoy it raw and see what the market does.

How rare is Lairon?

We don't have population numbers to point to here, but illustration rares as a tier are printed with real restraint compared to your basic commons and uncommons, which is exactly why they hold value the way they do. Lairon isn't a mythical pull, but it's scarce enough that a PSA 10 copy genuinely means something, since so few raw copies survive pack handling and shipping without a soft corner or a scuff. That gap between how many exist raw and how many actually earn a perfect grade is what keeps the PSA 10 price sitting well above the rest.

Where can you pull Lairon?

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep: we've recorded Lairon pulled 7 times across real pack-opening sites, tracked through lastpack and packs, with sightings inside rookie packs, the Catch 'em All Twilight Masquerade set, trainer packs, and Hoenn Safari. The biggest recorded pull value tied to this card hit $689, a reminder that a modest card in the pack can still land in a big overall hit. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any Lairon pull as a nice surprise rather than a plan. If you'd rather skip the risk entirely, buying a graded copy on the secondary market is the steadier route.

Questions people ask

How much is Lairon worth?+

A raw, ungraded Lairon from Twilight Masquerade runs about $6. Grade it and a Grade 9 brings $17, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $75, so condition really does change the math here.

Is Lairon worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 13.2 times the raw price. Just weigh that against grading costs and the fact that gem mint copies are genuinely hard to hit, so only send in copies that look sharp to the naked eye.

What set is Lairon from?+

Lairon #184 is an illustration rare from the 2024 Twilight Masquerade set, illustrated by Dsuke. It's also been spotted pulled from packs like rookie, Catch 'em All Twilight Masquerade, trainer, and Hoenn Safari.
