Tap to open
Meowth is one of those Jungle set commons that everyone remembers pulling as a kid, that grinning cat drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita, sitting there in the gold border era of 1999. It's a common card, so it was never meant to be rare, but that gold border Jungle look has aged into something people genuinely want on a shelf. If you're trying to figure out Meowth value today, the short answer is this: a raw copy runs $43, and that number climbs a lot depending on condition.

The collector's take on Meowth
Is Meowth worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting. A raw Meowth sits at $43, a Grade 9 jumps to $652, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy is sitting at $2,500, which works out to 58.2 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting to think every card in your binder should go straight to grading. But Jungle cards from 1999 have been handled, shuffled, and stored for over two decades, so finding one with sharp corners and clean edges that grades gem mint isn't a given. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and the honest math is this: grading makes sense if your copy already looks pack fresh to your eye, not as a lottery ticket for a beat up card.
How rare is it?
Meowth carries a common rarity tag, which tells you print runs back in 1999 were generous, this wasn't a card anyone was hoarding at the time. That's exactly why the value story here isn't about the card being scarce overall, it's about condition scarcity. Two decades of pack rips, trades, and sock drawers mean truly pristine copies are the actual rare part of this equation, and that's what pushes a PSA 10 so far above the raw price.
Where to pull it
We track real pulls across sites like collector-crypt, courtyard, lastpack, tilt-rips, and packs, and Meowth has shown up 200 or more times in that data, which tells you it's still very much in circulation through modern pack openings. It's turned up in packs like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack, and the biggest single pull we've recorded hit $2,412. Worth saying plainly though, opening packs chasing a card like this is gambling, most rips don't come close to that number, and buying a known copy on the secondary market is the steadier path if it's Meowth specifically you're after.
Questions people ask
How much is Meowth worth?+

Is Meowth worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 58.2 times the raw price of $43. The catch is that gem mint copies are genuinely hard to find given the card's age, so it's worth grading if your copy already looks clean, not as a guaranteed win.
What set is Meowth from?+
Meowth is a common card from the Jungle set, released in 1999 with that classic gold border look, and illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita.
