The collector's take on Mela
Is Mela worth grading?
So is Mela worth grading? A PSA 10 sits at 142.4x the raw price, which sounds like a clear yes, but the real answer depends on the copy in your hands. Gem mint is a genuinely tough bar to clear, corners and edges get punished at that level, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into any profit if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. Interestingly, right now a Grade 9 Mela is actually pulling more than a PSA 10 in this market, so it's worth checking current demand before you submit rather than assuming a perfect 10 is automatically your best outcome. If your raw copy has sharp corners and clean edges under a loupe, grading can make sense, but always go in with eyes open about the cost and the odds.
How rare is Mela?
There are 1,057 graded copies of Mela on record, and 401 of those have earned the PSA 10 label, which is a meaningfully large share of gem mints for a card this size. That tells you Mela isn't desperately scarce in top grade the way some chase cards are, but it also isn't common, and that balance is part of what keeps the price where it is. Scarcity here isn't about a card nobody can find, it's about the gap between raw copies floating around for $2 and the smaller, more dedicated pool of collectors willing to pay up for a certified gem.
Where can you pull Mela?
We've tracked Mela being pulled 24 times across the pack sites we monitor, specifically courtyard and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $21. It's turned up inside the Wildcard Basic Pack, noobie, and the Pokémon Starter Pack, so if you're chasing this one from packs rather than buying it outright, those are the products where our data shows it actually surfacing. That said, with a $2 raw value and modest recorded pull results, opening packs for Mela specifically isn't a strategy we'd recommend banking on. It's worth remembering that most pack openings don't cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus, not the plan.

Is Mela worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 142.4 times the raw price. But grading costs money and gem mint copies are genuinely hard to pull off, and right now a Grade 9 is actually worth more than a PSA 10, so check demand before you submit.
How much is a PSA 10 Mela worth?+
A PSA 10 Mela is worth $225. With 401 PSA 10 copies recorded out of 1,057 total graded, gem mints exist in reasonable numbers, but they still command a strong premium over the $2 raw card.
