Mienshao #72 comes from the Japanese Ancient Roar set, and it's the kind of card that quietly builds a following because it's affordable enough to enjoy and interesting enough to chase in higher grades. Right now the raw Mienshao value sits at $4, which makes it an easy card to pick up for a collection without much thought. But once you start looking at what graded copies pull in, the story gets a lot more interesting, and that's really what this page is here to explain.

The collector's take on Mienshao

Is Mienshao worth grading?

Here's the honest answer on whether Mienshao is worth grading: a raw copy sits at $4, a Grade 9 jumps to $143, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $458, which works out to about 109.0 times the raw price. That's a real jump, no question. But grading costs money upfront, there's shipping and turnaround time to think about, and you won't know what grade you're getting until it's already in the submission. Out of 2,709 graded copies total, 1,269 have come back PSA 10, so gem mint isn't some impossible long shot here, but it's also far from guaranteed. If your copy already looks sharp with clean corners and centering, grading can make sense. If it's rough, save yourself the trouble and enjoy it raw.

How rare is Mienshao?

Population numbers tell you a lot about how a card is actually doing in the wild, and for Mienshao the numbers are worth sitting with. There are 2,709 total graded copies on record, and 1,269 of those are sitting at PSA 10. That's a fairly high share landing in the top grade, which tells you this card can be found in strong condition if you're patient or lucky with your pull. It also means the real separation in value isn't just about owning a graded copy, it's about how that population breaks down between the middle grades and the top one.

Where can you pull Mienshao?

This is where PackSpy actually has something no static price guide can offer, because we track real pack openings across live sites. Mienshao has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, mnstr, and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $52. We've seen it turn up in a handful of different pack types too, including the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Pack 1, and the Pokémon Basic Pack. So if you're wondering whether ripping packs is a realistic way to land this card, the data says yes, it happens fairly often, though it's worth remembering that most pack opening overall is a gamble where the odds favor the house, not the opener.

Questions people ask

How much is Mienshao worth?+

A raw, ungraded Mienshao #72 from Ancient Roar is currently valued at $4. That's the baseline most collectors will pay or sell for if the card hasn't been through grading.

Is Mienshao worth grading?+

It can be, especially since a PSA 10 is worth 109.0 times the raw price, jumping from $4 to $458. Just know that grading costs money and takes time, and with 1,269 of 2,709 graded copies already hitting PSA 10, gem mint is achievable but not a sure thing.

How much is a PSA 10 Mienshao worth?+

A PSA 10 Mienshao is valued at $458, a big step up from the $143 mark for a Grade 9. That gap is exactly why so many collectors weigh the cost of grading against the payoff before submitting.
