Marowak #52 value & price

Tap to open
Marowak #52 comes from Base Set 2, a set that took collectors back to 2000 with reprints of those early classics, and this Ground-type Uncommon still has a soft spot for a lot of players thanks to Mitsuhiro Arita's artwork. It is not a flashy chase card, which is part of the charm, and if you are looking up Marowak value you will find it sits at $2 raw and climbs from there depending on the grade. It is the kind of card that rewards patience more than luck, and knowing what it is actually worth helps you decide whether to grade, hold, or just enjoy it in a binder.

InteractiveRaw value is $2.33, up 36% over the past year, with an all-time high of $2.45 in April 2021.

The collector's take on Marowak
Is Marowak worth grading?
Here is the honest math: a raw Marowak sits at $2, but a PSA 10 comes in at $43 and even a Grade 9 lands at $46, so there is a real jump once a card comes back graded. That said, gem mint is not guaranteed just because a card looks clean to your eye, and the grading fee, shipping, and wait time all eat into any profit if the card comes back lower than hoped. If you already suspect your copy is sharp edge to edge with strong centering, sending it in can make sense, but for a card at this price point, grading is more about the fun of finding out than a guaranteed payday.
How rare is Marowak?
Across every collector who has ever sent a Marowak in for grading, only 300 copies exist in the population report, and of those, 76 have come back as a PSA 10. That is actually a fairly generous slice earning the top grade compared to a lot of vintage cards, which tells you Marowak was printed and preserved reasonably well over the years. It is not a card defined by extreme scarcity, so its value leans more on nostalgia and set completion than on rarity alone.
Where can you pull Marowak?
PackSpy has tracked 29 recorded pulls of Marowak across collector-crypt, courtyard, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $943, which shows how pack contents and market timing can swing wildly from one rip to another. We have seen it turn up in the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokemon Expert Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack, so it is not confined to one product. If you are chasing it specifically, that spread of sightings is worth knowing, though as always with pack openings, the odds favor the house and most rips do not cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Marowak worth?+
A raw, ungraded Marowak from Base Set 2 is worth $2. Once graded, the value rises to $46 for a Grade 9 and $43 for a PSA 10, so condition and grading make a real difference here.
Is Marowak worth grading?+
It depends on how confident you are in the card's condition. The jump from $2 raw to $43 for a PSA 10 is real, roughly 25.0x, but grading costs and the chance of a lower grade coming back mean it is not a sure thing, so weigh the cost against how clean the card actually looks.
How much is a PSA 10 Marowak worth?+
A PSA 10 Marowak currently sits at $43. With 76 out of 300 total graded copies earning that top grade, gem mint versions are attainable but still make up a meaningful slice of what collectors consider the best examples out there.
