Tap to open
Mothim is that quietly cool Rare Holo from the 2009 Arceus set, card #6, with artwork from Kagemaru Himeno that captures the bug type in a way a lot of collectors still remember fondly. If you're checking Mothim value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits around $4, which makes it an easy, low pressure card to chase for the nostalgia alone rather than a big investment play. It's not a chase card in the flashy sense, but Arceus era holos like this one have a steady little following that keeps showing up when people ask how much is Mothim worth.

The collector's take on Mothim
Is Mothim worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Mothim price if you're weighing grading: a raw copy is about $4, a Grade 9 comes in around $20, and a PSA 10 sits at $82, which works out to roughly 20.6 times the raw price. That jump looks tempting on paper, but grading fees, shipping, and turnaround time eat into that gap fast, and gem mint is never guaranteed just because a card looks clean to your eye. If your copy has sharp corners, clean edges, and centered print with no surface flaws, it might be worth sending in, but for a $4 card the smarter move for most people is just enjoying it raw unless you genuinely think it's a gem mint candidate.
How rare is Mothim?
We don't have population numbers on record for Mothim yet, which itself says something: this isn't a card that's been graded in bulk or chased heavily on the secondary market. As a Rare Holo from the 2009 Arceus print run, it sits in that middle tier of scarcity, not ultra rare like a secret rare or full art, but not common either. That relative quiet is part of why the PSA 10 price stands so far above the raw price, since even without hard population data, gem mint copies of older holos tend to be scarcer simply because fewer were preserved carefully at the time.
Where can you pull Mothim?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually tells you something a price guide can't: we haven't recorded a single pull of Mothim across any of the pack sites we track. That doesn't mean it never happens, but it does mean this card isn't showing up in modern pack breaks or repack products in any real volume. If you want a copy, your realistic path is the secondary market rather than hoping to rip one from a pack, and that's worth knowing before you spend money chasing something that's simply not circulating that way right now. Remember too that opening packs in general is a gamble where most rips lose money, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Mothim worth?+
A raw, ungraded Mothim from the 2009 Arceus set is valued at $4. It's an affordable card to pick up for the artwork and nostalgia, and its value climbs noticeably once it's graded.
Is Mothim worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A Grade 9 runs about $20 and a PSA 10 hits $82, which is a real jump from the $4 raw price, but grading costs and the difficulty of hitting gem mint mean it only makes sense if your card is genuinely flawless.
How much is a PSA 10 Mothim worth?+
A PSA 10 Mothim is valued at $82, which comes out to about 20.6 times the raw card's $4 price. That gap shows how much collectors reward a clean, gem mint copy of this Arceus era holo.
