Lillie's Determination — collector's take

Is Lillie's Determination worth grading?

Here's the honest math on Lillie's Determination price if you're weighing PSA grading: a raw, ungraded copy sits at $65, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $175, which works out to about 2.7x the raw price. That sounds tempting, but notice the Grade 9 number, $59, which is actually below what you'd get for a well-kept raw card. That's the real risk of grading spelled out plainly: if your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10, you can end up worse off than if you'd never sent it in at all, once you factor in grading fees and the wait. Special illustration rares often have centering or surface quirks straight from the pack that keep them out of gem mint territory, so before you submit, look closely at the corners and the print quality under good light. If it looks clean and sharp, grading can pay off. If you're on the fence, it might be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell it as is.

How rare is it?

We don't have official population numbers to share for Lillie's Determination yet, so it's hard to say exactly how many PSA 10s exist out there. What we can say is that special illustration rares as a tier are intentionally scarce within any set, they're the chase cards, not the commons filling out a binder page. That built-in scarcity is a big part of why the price gap between raw and graded copies matters so much here: fewer high grade copies means more competition for the ones that do surface, and that tends to keep demand steady even without a huge printed population to point to.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep. We've recorded Lillie's Determination pulled 129 times across real pack-opening sites, specifically courtyard, tilt-rips, and collector-crypt, and the biggest single pull we've logged came in at $179. If you're hunting for it yourself, it's shown up in Pokémon Ultra (Spicy), Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokemon Premium Pack, and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, so those are the products worth watching if you want a shot at pulling it fresh rather than buying it outright. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
