Lugia — collector's take
Is Lugia worth grading?
Here's the honest math on grading Lugia: a raw copy is worth $2, but a PSA 10 sits at $209, which works out to 139.2 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, and it's the number that gets people excited about sending cards in. But gem mint isn't easy to land, grading companies are strict about corners, centering and surface, and there's a cost and a wait involved whether your card comes back a 10 or not. A Grade 9 only brings $16, so the value really lives at the very top grade, and that's worth knowing before you spend money on submission fees hoping for the best outcome.
How rare is it?
Across all grading, there are only 6 graded copies of Lugia #22 recorded. That's a genuinely small number, and it tells you that very few people have bothered to grade this card, or very few have pulled copies clean enough to bother submitting. When a population is this tight, every high grade copy that does exist becomes meaningfully rarer, which is part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw price. If you're holding a sharp copy, that scarcity is real leverage.
Where to pull it
PackSpy has tracked Lugia #22 being pulled 200 or more times across sites including mnstr, courtyard, collector-crypt and packs, so this isn't a card that only shows up in price guides, it genuinely gets opened. The biggest single pull we've recorded came in at $8,246, which shows just how much a lucky rip can swing in value depending on grade and demand at the time. We've seen it turn up in Pack 3, the Pokemon Starter Pack, the Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack and the Celebrations Pack itself, so if you're chasing it, those are the places worth watching. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble, most rips don't come close to covering what you spent, and our pull data is here to help you make an informed choice rather than a hopeful one.
Questions people ask
How much is Lugia worth?
A raw, ungraded Lugia #22 is worth $2 right now. Grade it up and a Grade 9 brings $16, while a PSA 10 sits at $209, so condition makes a huge difference to the Lugia price.
Is Lugia worth grading?
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 139.2 times the raw card, but gem mint copies are hard to come by and only 6 copies have been graded in total. Weigh the grading cost and the wait against the fact that a Grade 9 only fetches $16, most of the upside is really at that top grade.
What set is Lugia from?
Lugia #22 is from Celebrations, the set Pokemon released in 2021 to mark the franchise's 25th anniversary. It's a Rare card illustrated by Kouki Saitou, and it remains one of the more searched cards from that set.
