Metagross — collector's take
Is Metagross worth grading?
So is it worth sending Metagross off to get graded? Let's talk numbers first. A raw copy runs $1,393, a Grade 9 jumps to $7,208, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy commands $8,649, which works out to about 6.2 times the raw price. That's a serious multiple, and it's exactly why so many collectors get grading fever with a card like this. But here's the honest part: hitting a PSA 10 on an older Gold Star card is genuinely hard. Print era, centering quirks, and years of handling all work against gem mint status, and grading costs money and time whether the card comes back a 10 or a 7. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe, with clean edges and strong centering, grading can make sense. If it's got soft corners or a slight print line, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling as-is rather than gambling on a slab that doesn't come back gem.
How rare is it?
Delta Species cards from 2005 weren't printed forever, and Gold Star cards within that set were always a step above the standard rare, both in artwork and in how tightly they were distributed. We don't have exact population figures to lean on here, but the gap between raw value and PSA 10 value tells its own story: when a card jumps from $1,393 to $8,649 based purely on condition and grading, that's the market telling you clean, high-grade copies are genuinely thin on the ground. Scarcity like that doesn't just add prestige, it directly shapes what people are willing to pay once a card proves out at the top grade.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we don't just quote a price guide, we track real pulls across real pack sites. Metagross Gold Star #113 has been recorded 96 times across mnstr, collector-crypt, courtyard, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $2,458. Collectors have found it turning up in Pack 1, the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Pokémon Pro Pack, the Pokemon Expert Pack, and Tilt Treasure. That said, worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid in. If you're chasing this one specifically, our live data at least tells you where it's actually been showing up rather than leaving you guessing.
