Mela #198 comes from the Korean Terastal Festival ex set, a release that has its own quiet charm for collectors who like to branch out beyond the usual English print runs. If you are here checking Mela value, the short answer is that raw copies are trading around $3, which puts it firmly in the fun, affordable end of the hobby rather than the chase-card end.

The collector's take on Mela
Is Mela worth grading?
So is Mela worth grading? Right now we don't have Grade 9 or PSA 10 prices logged for this card, which on its own tells you something: it hasn't built up enough of a graded market yet for those numbers to show clearly. With a raw price sitting at $3, you'd want to think carefully before sending it in, since grading fees alone can run higher than the card's ungraded value, and there's no guarantee of coming back gem mint. A copy can look perfect to the eye and still pick up a grading knock under review. If you love the card and want a nice slab for your collection, go for it, but as a way to make money, this isn't the one.
How rare is Mela?
Mela isn't a card with big population numbers attached in our data yet, so we can't point to hard grading pop figures here. What we can say is that as part of a Korean-exclusive set, it naturally sees a smaller print run reaching Western collectors than mainline English releases, which gives it a bit of extra appeal for people building complete Terastal Festival ex collections. Scarcity in a set like this tends to come more from availability and import access than from a razor-thin population report, so the value staying steady at $3 reflects a card that's findable but not common at every shop.
Where can you pull Mela?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because we've recorded Mela pulled 25 times across real pack-opening sites, specifically courtyard and lastpack. The biggest recorded pull came in at $21, which shows that even a modest-value card can occasionally land in a pack that swings the payout your way. We've also seen Mela turn up in the Wildcard Basic Pack, noobie, and Pokémon Starter Pack, so if you're chasing this one specifically, those are worth keeping an eye on. Just remember that opening packs is gambling in the truest sense, most rips don't beat what you paid, and Mela is a nice example of a card that keeps things interesting without needing a huge price tag to do it.
Questions people ask
How much is Mela worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Mela is valued at $3. We don't yet have confirmed prices for Grade 9 or PSA 10 copies, so for now the ungraded market is the clearest picture of Mela's price.
Is Mela worth grading?+
With a $3 raw value and no established Grade 9 or PSA 10 pricing yet, grading Mela is more of a personal collection choice than a money move. Grading costs can easily exceed what the card is worth raw, so weigh that against how much you just want a graded slab in hand.
What set is Mela from?+
Mela is card #198 from the Korean Terastal Festival ex set, which gives it a bit of extra novelty for collectors who enjoy tracking down Korean-exclusive Pokemon releases.
