Master Ball Series II value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Master Ball & chase cards
Tap to open
Master Ball is one of those cards that quietly draws collectors in, a Japanese Vending Series II piece that feels more like a little piece of Pokemon history than a modern chase card. It never had the flashy holo treatment or a 1st edition stamp, but its scarcity and vending-machine origin story give it a charm all its own. If you are trying to pin down Master Ball value right now, the short answer is that it sits in that sweet, affordable range where a curious collector can actually own a piece of vintage Pokemon without breaking the bank.

The collector's take on Master Ball
Is Master Ball worth grading?
So is Master Ball worth grading? Raw copies sit around $9, and a PSA 10 comes in near $26, which lines up with that roughly 3.0x jump graders talk about. Here is the honest wrinkle though: a Grade 9 is actually fetching $46 right now, more than a perfect 10. That kind of thing happens more often than people expect in older sets, where demand for a clean near-mint copy can outpace the gem mint premium. Grading costs money and time, and there is no guarantee your card comes back a 10, or even a 9. If you have a raw copy that already looks sharp, it might be worth the gamble, but go in knowing the market here does not always reward perfection the way you would assume.
How rare is Master Ball?
Only 198 copies of Master Ball have been graded in total, and of those, just 38 have earned a PSA 10. That means gem mint copies make up a fairly small slice of an already limited pool, roughly one in five graded cards achieving that top grade. Populations this size tell you two things: not many people are submitting this card, and even fewer are pulling a truly flawless one. That scarcity is a big part of why the Master Ball price holds steady even without the fanfare of a chase card, there simply are not many out there to trade around.
Where can you pull Master Ball?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because we do not just guess at pull rates, we record them. Master Ball has been pulled 18 times across sites we track, including courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $45. It has turned up in packs like the Wildcard Basic Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Anime Pop Culture Gacha. Worth remembering though, opening packs is still a gamble and most rips do not turn a profit, so if you are chasing this specific card, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is often the steadier route.
Questions people ask
How much is Master Ball worth?+
A raw, ungraded Master Ball currently sits around $9. Once it is graded, the value shifts depending on the grade it earns, with a Grade 9 fetching $46 and a PSA 10 coming in at $26.
Is Master Ball worth grading?+
It depends on the copy you have. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 3.0x, but only 38 out of 198 graded copies have hit that perfect grade, so gem mint is far from guaranteed. Given that Grade 9 actually outprices PSA 10 right now, it is worth weighing the cost of grading against what your specific card is likely to come back as.
How much is a PSA 10 Master Ball worth?+
A PSA 10 Master Ball is valued around $26, which works out to roughly 3.0x the raw card's $9 price. With only 38 PSA 10 copies recorded out of 198 graded total, it is a genuinely tough grade to land.
