Tap to open
Malamar EX is one of those quietly striking Ultra Rares from the 2014 Phantom Forces set, card #115, brought to life by Ryo Ueda's artwork. It doesn't get the spotlight some of its Phantom Forces siblings do, but collectors who know the set tend to have a soft spot for it. If you're trying to pin down Malamar EX value right now, the short answer is that it sits at a modest but real number raw, with a much bigger jump waiting at the top grade.

The collector's take on Malamar EX
Is Malamar EX worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Malamar EX runs about $15, while a PSA 10 sits at $634, which works out to roughly 42.3x the raw price. That's a big multiplier on paper, and it's easy to see why people get tempted to send copies in. But only 18 of the 250 total graded copies have actually come back as PSA 10, so gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on this card, not a given. Grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all add up, and if your copy comes back a Grade 9 instead, you're looking at $76, a fraction of what a 10 brings. If your raw copy already has sharp corners and clean edges under good light, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or print lines, save yourself the fee and enjoy it as a player or shelf piece.
How rare is Malamar EX?
With 250 total graded copies on record and only 18 of those earning a PSA 10, Malamar EX is not a card you'll find gem mint copies of sitting around in bulk. That population split tells you most graded copies land somewhere below perfect, which is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers. Scarcity at the top end is really what's driving the value gap here, not hype.
Where can you pull Malamar EX?
We've tracked 182 pulls of Malamar EX across tilt-rips, and the biggest recorded pull value in that data came in at $3, which tells you plainly that most of those rips were not big wins. It's shown up in Novice Pack, Rookie Pack, and Pokemon Mini Pack, so if you're chasing this one live, those are the spots our tracker has actually seen it land. Worth saying clearly: opening packs is gambling, and the math on most rips does not favor the opener. If you want Malamar EX specifically and don't want to leave it to chance, buying a raw or graded copy on the secondary market is usually the more predictable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Malamar EX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Malamar EX from Phantom Forces is worth about $15. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $76 and a PSA 10 reaching $634, so condition makes a real difference here.
Is Malamar EX worth grading?+
It can be, but only if your copy is genuinely sharp, since just 18 out of 250 graded copies have hit PSA 10. The raw to PSA 10 jump is about 42.3x, which is tempting, but a Grade 9 result at $76 is a much smaller return, so weigh the grading cost against what you're actually seeing on the card first.
How much is a PSA 10 Malamar EX worth?+
A PSA 10 Malamar EX is worth $634, making it by far the most valuable version of this card. That's about 42.3 times the raw price of $15, and with only 18 PSA 10s recorded out of 250 total graded copies, that top grade is genuinely tough to land.
