Tap to open
Manaphy #178 comes from the Korean VSTAR Universe set, and it's the kind of card that quietly wins collectors over with its clean design and the fact that Manaphy itself has always been a fan favorite since its Pokemon movie debut. If you're checking Manaphy value right now, the raw market sits at $9, which puts it firmly in approachable territory rather than chase-card land. It's not a card that will empty your wallet, but it's got enough charm and set relevance that people keep pulling and picking it up.

The collector's take on Manaphy
Is Manaphy worth grading?
So is Manaphy worth grading? Honestly, with the raw price at $9 and no established Grade 9 or PSA 10 value on record yet, it's hard to make a strong financial case either way. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's always a chance your card comes back with a crease or a corner ding you didn't notice, dropping it below gem mint. If you love the card and want a PSA 10 in a slab for your collection, that's reason enough. But if you're grading purely to flip for profit, the math just isn't there yet for this one, and that's worth knowing before you send it in.
How rare is Manaphy?
We don't have population numbers on file for Manaphy #178 yet, which itself tells you something: it hasn't been graded and tracked at scale the way chase cards from bigger English-language sets have. Being part of a Korean release also naturally narrows its circulation compared to mainstream sets, since fewer copies make their way into the wider market. That relative scarcity doesn't always translate into big money on its own, but it does mean each copy carries a bit more rarity than the raw price alone suggests.
Where can you pull Manaphy?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep: we've recorded Manaphy #178 pulled 71 times across courtyard, tilt-rips, and lastpack, so we know it's out there and it does show up. It's turned up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, and both listings of Pokémon Starter Pack, meaning it's not tied to one single product. The biggest recorded pull value we've tracked for this card was $142, a nice reminder that even a modest card can occasionally land in a valuable spot. Just remember, pack opening is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come close to that kind of number, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than the plan.
