Tap to open
Master Ball is one of those Deoxys-era cards from 2005 that longtime collectors still smile at, an uncommon pull illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi that captures the iconic ball itself rather than a creature. If you are digging into Master Ball value right now, here is the short version: it is not a card that commands big money, but its story and its scarcity in high grades still make it worth understanding before you buy, sell, or send one off to be graded.

The collector's take on Master Ball
Is Master Ball worth grading?
Here is the honest answer on whether Master Ball is worth grading: a raw, ungraded copy currently sits at $0, while a Grade 9 fetches $6 and a PSA 10 comes in at $7, which works out to that PSA 10 being roughly 14.6 times the raw price. That sounds like a nice jump, but remember grading has its own cost and turnaround time, and gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on cards from this era since printing and centering were not always kind. If you already own a raw copy sitting in a binder and it looks sharp, sending it in could make sense, but if you are buying specifically to grade, do the math first because the fees can easily outweigh what you get back.
How rare is Master Ball?
Only 24 graded copies of Master Ball exist across all grading, and of those just 7 have reached PSA 10. That is a genuinely tight population for a card that is technically an uncommon, and it tells you most copies out there have simply never been submitted, or they came back lower than gem mint. Scarcity at the very top end like this is part of why the PSA 10 price sits meaningfully above Grade 9 and raw, even if the overall dollar figures stay modest.
Where can you pull Master Ball?
PackSpy has tracked 18 pulls of Master Ball across pack sites, specifically courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $45. We have seen it turn up in the Wildcard Basic Pack, the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Pokémon Pro Pack, and the Anime Pop Culture Gacha Pack, so it is not a card locked away in one single product. That said, opening packs chasing a specific uncommon like this is still a gamble, and most rips do not come out ahead financially, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Master Ball worth?+
A raw, ungraded Master Ball is currently valued at $0, which reflects how common it is to find unsold or ungraded on the secondary market. Once graded, the price moves to $6 for a Grade 9 and $7 for a PSA 10, so the real Master Ball price story is in the grading tiers, not the raw copies.
Is Master Ball worth grading?+
It depends on the condition you are starting with. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 14.6 times in value, but with only 7 PSA 10 copies out of 24 total graded, gem mint is not guaranteed, so weigh the grading fees against those modest dollar figures before submitting.
How much is a PSA 10 Master Ball worth?+
A PSA 10 Master Ball is valued at $7, making it the top of the grading scale for this card. It sits just above the Grade 9 price of $6, and with only 7 PSA 10 copies recorded in the population, it represents the scarcest slice of this card's market.
