Mega Absol Ex — collector's take
Is Mega Absol Ex worth grading?
So is Mega Absol Ex worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy sits at $60, a Grade 9 barely moves the needle at $62, but a PSA 10 jumps to $154, which works out to about 2.6 times the raw price. That gap only matters if you can actually land a gem mint 10, and that's the tricky part, since anything less than perfect centering, edges, and surface will knock you down to Grade 9 territory where the return basically disappears. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your card comes back a 10, so if your copy has any visible wear, it might make more sense to sell or keep it raw rather than gamble on the submission.
How rare is it?
Right now there are 9,150 graded copies of Mega Absol Ex on record, and out of those, 6,149 have come back as PSA 10. That's actually a pretty high percentage of gem mints relative to the total population, which tells you this card grades fairly well when it's in good shape to begin with. It also means the PSA 10 premium, while real at $154, isn't the kind of scarcity story where a handful of copies exist, it's more that the card holds solid value across the board for something from a 2025 release.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's data actually helps, because we track real pulls across pack sites, not just guide prices. Mega Absol Ex has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, so it's not some mythical chase card, it shows up with real regularity. We've seen it surface in the Pokemon Mini Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokemon Expert Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $169. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation.
Questions people ask
How much is Mega Absol Ex worth?
A raw or ungraded Mega Absol Ex is currently valued at $60. Grade 9 copies sit close behind at $62, while a PSA 10 commands $154, about 2.6 times the raw price. So the answer really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Mega Absol Ex worth grading?
It can be, if you're confident the card is in gem mint shape, since a PSA 10 sells for $154 compared to $60 raw. But Grade 9 only brings $62, barely above raw, so grading is really a bet on pulling a perfect 10. Factor in grading fees and the wait before deciding.
What set is Mega Absol Ex from?
Mega Absol Ex is card #180 from the Mega Evolution set, released in 2025. It's a special illustration rare featuring artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, which is a big part of why collectors are drawn to it.
