It's the kind of card that gets pulled and immediately makes you stop shuffling through the rest of the pack. If you're checking M Alakazam EX value right now, the short answer is that raw copies sit around $44, but grading changes that picture quite a bit, and we'll walk through why below.

The collector's take on M Alakazam EX

Is M Alakazam EX worth grading?

So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $44, a Grade 9 sits at $150, and a PSA 10 comes in at $893, which works out to roughly 20.3 times what the raw card sells for. That's a real jump, and it's tempting to send every clean-looking copy off to get graded. But gem mint is a genuinely tough bar to clear, corners, centering, and surface all have to line up, and grading fees plus turnaround time eat into your margin if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a light and you're patient, grading can pay off. If it's got soft corners or a scratch you're hoping nobody notices, save your money.

How rare is it?

We don't have official population numbers to lean on here, but M Alakazam EX carries the Ultra Rare tag from a 2016 set, which already puts it in a smaller print bracket than the common and uncommon cards from that era. Ultra Rares from Fates Collide weren't stuffed into every pack, so finding one in good shape years later takes some doing. That scarcity is exactly why the gap between raw and PSA 10 pricing is so wide, fewer clean copies exist, and collectors chasing a gem mint example are competing for a genuinely limited supply.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's tracking actually tells you something a price guide can't. We've recorded M Alakazam EX pulled 4 times across tracked pack sites, all through tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $270. It's shown up in the Pokemon Premium Pack, Pokemon Ultimate Pack, and Pokemon Expert Pack, so if you're chasing this one through packs rather than buying it outright, those are the products where we've actually seen it hit. Worth saying plainly though, pulling it is rare and most pack opening doesn't come out ahead financially, so treat it as a fun long shot rather than a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is M Alakazam EX worth?+

A raw, ungraded M Alakazam EX is worth about $44 right now. Grade it up and a Grade 9 sits at $150, while a PSA 10 in gem mint condition reaches $893, so condition makes a huge difference in the M Alakazam EX price.

Is M Alakazam EX worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for around 20.3 times the raw price. But gem mint condition is hard to hit and grading isn't free, so it's really worth it only if your copy already looks sharp and clean before you send it in.

What set is M Alakazam EX from?+

M Alakazam EX #118 comes from the Fates Collide set, released in 2016. It's an Ultra Rare card illustrated by 5ban Graphics, which is part of why it still catches collectors' eyes today.
