Tap to open
Life Forest is a Rare card from the 2018 Lost Thunder set, brought to life by the artwork of 5ban Graphics, and it's the kind of card that quietly rewards patient collectors rather than chasers of big numbers. If you're digging into Life Forest value, the short answer is that it sits at a modest but steady $2 raw, which makes it an approachable piece of Lost Thunder history rather than a chase card. It's not flashy, but there's something satisfying about owning a clean copy of a set that's now a few years deep into its own story.

The collector's take on Life Forest
Is Life Forest worth grading?
So is Life Forest worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy sits around $2, and a PSA 10 comes in at roughly 1.9x that, landing at $3. A Grade 9, interestingly, is currently valued higher at $33, which shows how much grading markets can shift based on demand for a specific grade rather than just the top slab. Given that grading fees, shipping and the wait time can eat into any profit fast, this isn't a card where you send in a stack hoping for gem mint magic. If you already have a sharp copy sitting in a binder and you're curious, it might be worth a shot, but go in knowing the numbers are tight and grading is always a bit of a gamble.
How rare is Life Forest?
Across all grading services, only 114 copies of Life Forest have been graded, and of those, just 9 have earned the coveted PSA 10 gem mint label. That's a small population for a Rare card from Lost Thunder, and it tells you that while plenty of people own the card, very few have sent it in or gotten lucky with centering and surface under bright light. Scarcity at the top end like this is part of why Grade 9 copies are commanding more right now than even the PSA 10 population, since so few high grades exist to satisfy collectors chasing near perfect copies.
Where can you pull Life Forest?
PackSpy has tracked Life Forest being pulled just once across the pack sites we monitor, that single pull coming from Collector Crypt with a recorded value of $17, and it showed up in a Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack. That tells you plainly this isn't a card sitting in every box waiting to be found. If you're hoping to add Life Forest to your collection, your best bet is usually the secondary market rather than ripping packs and hoping, since the odds of a live pull are genuinely rare based on what we've recorded. It's worth remembering that opening packs is always a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so go in with realistic expectations either way.

Is Life Forest worth grading?+
It depends on your copy and your goals. A PSA 10 brings about 1.9x the raw price, valued at $3, while a Grade 9 is currently worth more at $33, so grading can pay off but the margins are tight once fees are factored in.
How much is a PSA 10 Life Forest worth?+
A PSA 10 Life Forest is valued at $3, which reflects the 1.9x jump from its raw price of $2. Only 9 out of 114 graded copies have reached that gem mint grade, so it's a genuine accomplishment to pull off even if the dollar value stays modest.
