The collector's take on Larry's Staraptor
Is Larry's Staraptor worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw copy of Larry's Staraptor sits around $5, but a PSA 10 has been trading at $102, which works out to about 19.3 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's exactly why people send cards in. But gem mint isn't a given. Illustration rares like this one show every whitening spot and edge ding under a grader's light, and a Grade 9 only brings in $23, a big drop from that PSA 10 number. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're taking a real bet on centering and surface being clean enough to hit that top grade. If your copy looks sharp under a loupe, it's worth the gamble. If there's any doubt, it might be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell as is.
How rare is Larry's Staraptor?
We don't have official population data on Larry's Staraptor yet, but illustration rares in modern sets like Ascended Heroes are already printed at a lower rate than your standard holos, which is part of why the raw price sits above bulk common territory. As more copies get submitted for grading over time, we'll get a clearer picture of how many gem mint copies actually exist. Until then, the safest read is that any PSA 10 you see today represents a card that survived a genuinely selective process, and that scarcity is baked into why the grade jump is so steep.
Where can you pull Larry's Staraptor?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep. We've tracked Larry's Staraptor pulled 200 or more times across real pack sites, tilt-rips, collector-crypt, packs, courtyard, and lastpack, so this isn't a card that only exists on secondary market listings. It's been showing up in Pokemon Mini Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Catch 'em All - Heroes Ascended, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Wildcard Master Pack. The biggest recorded pull tied to this card hit $579, which tells you the range of outcomes when it lands in a lucky box. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come close to covering what you spent. The data helps you go in with eyes open, not guarantee a win.
