Tap to open
Mankey might be a lowly Common in the 2002 Legendary Collection set, but the Reverse Holo #81 version has quietly become one of those cards collectors keep circling back to. Illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, it carries that shimmering reverse holo foil that turns a basic little monkey into something worth a second look. If you're trying to pin down Mankey's value right now, a raw copy sits at $148, which is a solid number for a card this old and this common in its base rarity.

The collector's take on Mankey
Is Mankey worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting. A raw/ungraded Mankey is $148, a Grade 9 jumps to $560, and a PSA 10 sits at $28,200, which works out to roughly 190.5 times the raw price. That gap is enormous, and it tells you everything about how much collectors pay for perfection on a 2002 card. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit here: centering, edge wear, and print lines from this era all work against you, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time are real costs you eat regardless of the result. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand, corners tight, centering clean, it can be worth sending in. If it's got soft edges or off centering, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling as is rather than gambling the grading fee on a long shot.
How rare is Mankey?
Across all grading submissions, only 799 copies of this card have ever been graded, and of those just 72 have earned a PSA 10. That's a tight slice at the top. When you consider how many Legendary Collection packs were opened over the years, a population this small at gem mint tells you most copies picked up wear somewhere along the way, whether that's from being played, stored loose, or just handled over two decades. Scarcity like that is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers. It's not hype, it's just supply and demand doing what it does.
Where can you pull Mankey?
PackSpy has tracked 91 recorded pulls of Mankey across sites like packz, courtyard, mnstr, and collector-crypt, and it's shown up in a mix of packs including the Pokémon Uncommon Pack, Pokémon Common Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pack 5. The biggest single pull we've logged landed at $90, which gives you a realistic sense of what a lucky rip actually nets rather than a best case fantasy number. This is the kind of detail a price guide simply can't offer, because it comes from real opens on real sites rather than a static catalog. Worth saying plainly: opening packs chasing a card like this is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid, so treat it as entertainment first and a value play second.
Questions people ask
How much is Mankey worth?+
A raw, ungraded Mankey Reverse Holo #81 from Legendary Collection is valued at $148. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $560 and a PSA 10 reaching $28,200, so the value really hinges on condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Mankey worth grading?+
It depends on the copy in your hands. The PSA 10 price of $28,200 is about 190.5 times the raw value of $148, which sounds tempting, but only 72 out of 799 graded copies have actually hit that gem mint grade. If your card has visible wear or centering issues, grading is a riskier bet than it looks on paper.
Why is the Mankey Reverse Holo #81 print worth more than the standard one?+
The reverse holo treatment gives the card a foil background instead of foil on the character art, which was a newer and rarer printing variation in 2002 and has stayed popular with collectors ever since. That added scarcity and visual appeal is a big part of why reverse holo versions tend to command more collector interest than a standard print of the same card.
