Miriam #251 is one of those Scarlet & Violet cards that stops you mid-shuffle, a special illustration rare with artwork from Akira Komayama that actually gives the character some warmth and personality instead of just a pretty background. Since the set released in 2023, it's held a steady spot on collector want lists, and if you're trying to pin down Miriam value right now, the raw card sits at $25 while a PSA 10 climbs to $122. It's not a chase card that breaks the bank, but it's the kind of pull that makes opening a pack feel worth it.

The collector's take on Miriam
Is Miriam worth grading?
So is Miriam worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $25, a Grade 9 nudges up to $28, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $122, which works out to about 4.8 times the raw price. That gap looks tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land. Special illustration rares like this one show every whitened edge and surface scratch under grading lights, and a single soft corner drops you from a 10 to a 9, wiping out most of that upside. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and grading only really makes sense if your copy already looks flawless to the naked eye. If there's any doubt, it might be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell it as is.
How rare is Miriam?
Special illustration rares as a category are already a step above your standard pulls, printed in smaller numbers within the Scarlet & Violet set and built specifically for collectors who want the alternate art treatment rather than the standard version. We don't have official population figures to point to here, but the price gap between raw and PSA 10 tells its own story: when a card jumps nearly five times in value simply for hitting a perfect grade, it usually means clean copies are the exception, not the rule. That scarcity at the top end is exactly why graded Miriam cards hold their premium.
Where can you pull Miriam?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we don't just quote a price guide, we track real pulls across pack sites, courtyard breaks, and Collector Crypt. Miriam has been recorded 39 times across those platforms, with the biggest single pull landing at $2,828, which shows what's possible when a sharp copy meets the right buyer. If you're hunting for one yourself, it's shown up in packs like Standard Staples, the Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Miriam worth?+
A raw or ungraded Miriam #251 sits around $25. Grading bumps that a bit, with a Grade 9 valued at $28 and a PSA 10 reaching $122. So the real answer depends on condition and whether you've had it graded.
Is Miriam worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 4.8 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are tough to pull off, and grading costs and time add up, so it's really only worth it if your card looks near perfect already.
What set is Miriam from?+
Miriam #251 comes from the Scarlet & Violet set, released in 2023. It's a special illustration rare, illustrated by Akira Komayama, which is why the artwork stands out so much from the standard prints.
