Question 1

Is Larvitar worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Larvitar worth grading? Honestly, right now it is hard to say with full confidence either way. We do not have Grade 9 or PSA 10 values on record yet for this card, so there is no clear jump to point to between a raw copy and a graded gem mint one. What we do know is that grading always costs money and time no matter the card, and pulling off a true gem mint copy is never guaranteed, centering and edges on older prints can be unforgiving. If you have a Larvitar that looks sharp in hand, it might be worth sending in just to see, but go in treating it as a bit of a gamble rather than a sure profit.

Question 2

How rare is Larvitar?

Accepted Answer

We do not have official population numbers in front of us for this particular Larvitar print, so it is hard to say exactly how many exist in top condition. What we can say is that 1st edition cards from Japanese sets like Awakening Psychic King tend to sit in a smaller, tighter print run compared to later reprints, which naturally makes clean copies harder to come by. That scarcity is part of what keeps a card like this on collector radars even at a modest raw price, since fewer surviving high grade copies almost always means more attention down the line.

Question 3

Where can you pull Larvitar?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. Larvitar has been pulled 127 times in our records, showing up across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, so it is not a card you will stumble on constantly, but it is out there if you are opening the right packs. We have seen it land in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Tilt Treasure Pack, Pokemon Ultimate Pack, and Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack. The biggest recorded pull value for this card sits at $1,238, a reminder that even a modest looking card can occasionally pay off big for someone, though most rips will not hit that kind of number, so treat pack opening as fun first and profit second.

Question 4

How much is Larvitar worth?

Accepted Answer

The raw, ungraded Larvitar 1st Edition #35 is currently valued at $3. We do not yet have confirmed Grade 9 or PSA 10 prices on record, so for now the raw figure is the clearest number to go by when checking Larvitar price.

Question 5

Is Larvitar worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the condition of your specific copy, since we do not have Grade 9 or PSA 10 values recorded yet to compare against the $3 raw price. Grading costs money regardless of outcome, so it is worth weighing that risk against how sharp your card actually looks before sending it in.

Question 6

Why is the Larvitar 1st Edition #35 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

The 1st edition stamp signals an earlier print run, and those runs are generally smaller and more sought after by collectors than later standard reprints. That history and relative scarcity is usually what gives a 1st edition card like this one a bit more staying power in the eyes of collectors, even when the raw price today is modest.
