Tap to open
Maintenance is one of those quiet Base Set cards from 1999 that longtime collectors just have a soft spot for, a Trainer card illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi that doesn't shout for attention but has stuck around in binders for over two decades. As an Uncommon from the original 1999-2000 Base Set, it's not the card that makes headlines, but if you're checking Maintenance value, you'll find it sits at a steady $9 raw, which feels about right for a piece of Pokemon history that's still genuinely fun to own. It's the kind of card that reminds you Base Set wasn't just about the Charizards, there was a whole supporting cast that made the set what it is.

The collector's take on Maintenance
Is Maintenance worth grading?
So is Maintenance worth grading? Here's the honest answer: a raw copy runs $9, a Grade 9 sits at $23, and a PSA 10 comes in at $18, which works out to about 2.1 times the raw price. That's a real jump, but grading isn't free and it isn't guaranteed. You're paying submission fees and waiting on turnaround time, and there's always a chance your card comes back a 9 instead of that gem mint 10, which changes the math quite a bit. If you've got a copy that already looks sharp with clean corners and centering, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft edges or wear, you'll likely spend more grading it than you'd get back.
How rare is Maintenance?
Across all the years this card has been floating around, only 76 copies have been graded in total, and just 24 of those earned a PSA 10. That's not a huge population by any measure, and it tells you that gem mint copies of Maintenance are genuinely tough to come by, even for a card that isn't considered a chase piece. When a card has this few graded copies floating around, especially at the top grade, it puts a natural ceiling on supply that keeps values from collapsing even when demand is modest. It's a good reminder that scarcity isn't just about mythic rares, sometimes it's the everyday Uncommons that quietly become hard to find in top condition.
Where can you pull Maintenance?
We've tracked 21 recorded pulls of Maintenance across pack sites including collector-crypt and courtyard, and it's shown up in products like the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore. The biggest pull we've logged came in at $69, which is a nice reminder that even lower-value cards can occasionally surprise you when packaged with something worth chasing. That said, opening packs is still a gamble no matter how you slice it, and most rips don't come out ahead financially. If you're specifically after this card, buying it directly on the secondary market is usually the more predictable route, but if you love the thrill of the pull, it's out there waiting in a handful of products we've seen it surface in.
Questions people ask
How much is Maintenance worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Maintenance is worth $9 right now. That price reflects its status as an Uncommon from the 1999-2000 Base Set, a card that's beloved by collectors but not considered rare in the traditional sense.
Is Maintenance worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. Grading can push value from $9 raw up to $23 for a Grade 9 or $18 for a PSA 10, but with only 76 total graded copies and 24 of those hitting gem mint, there's real risk your card doesn't land a perfect grade.
How much is a PSA 10 Maintenance worth?+
A PSA 10 Maintenance is valued at $18, which comes out to about 2.1 times the raw price of $9. With just 24 PSA 10 copies in the known population, gem mint examples are genuinely tough to track down.
