Murkrow has that quiet, moody charm that Unseen Forces did so well back in 2005, and this reverse holo take on it, illustrated by Kouki Saitou, has stuck around as a card people actually go looking for. If you are trying to pin down Murkrow value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $20, which feels approachable for a rare from a set this old. It is not a flashy chase card, but that is part of why collectors who grew up with this era keep coming back to it.

The collector's take on Murkrow
Is Murkrow worth grading?
So is Murkrow worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $20, a Grade 9 jumps to $112, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is sitting at $1,439, which works out to about 72.0x what you would pay raw. That is a real gap, and it is tempting. But getting a 10 is genuinely hard, especially on a card from 2005 that has had two decades to pick up whitening, print lines, or edge wear nobody notices until it is under a light. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no refund if it comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you already own a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, corners clean, centering even, it can be worth the gamble. If you are buying raw just to send it in cold, go in knowing most cards do not come back gem mint, and budget accordingly.
How rare is Murkrow?
Across all grading services combined, only 146 copies of this card have been graded, and of those, just 34 have come back a PSA 10. That is a tight number for any card, let alone one that has been around since 2005. It tells you two things: first, that gem mint copies are genuinely uncommon, not just marketed that way, and second, that the population is small enough that demand from even a modest group of collectors can move the price. When you are looking at Murkrow price data, keep that population in mind. It is a real, finite number, not a guess.
Where can you pull Murkrow?
We track actual pulls across pack opening sites, not just guide prices, and Murkrow has shown up 8 times in our recorded data, all from collector-crypt. The biggest pull we have on record hit $1,400, which is a strong result for a card that raw only books at $20. It has also turned up in Mythic Pokémon Gacha Pack openings. That said, opening packs to chase a specific card is a gamble, most rips do not cover their cost, and Murkrow is not a card you should expect to land often. If you want this one for your collection, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is usually the more predictable route than hoping a pack delivers it.
Questions people ask
How much is Murkrow worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Murkrow is valued at $20. Once graded, that number changes a lot: a Grade 9 sits at $112, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,439. So the condition and grading status make a real difference in what it is worth.
Is Murkrow worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 is worth 72.0x the raw price, which is a big jump, but only 34 out of 146 graded copies have hit that grade, so gem mint is not a given. If your card looks clean already, grading can pay off, but treat it as a real risk, not a sure thing.
What set is Murkrow from?+
Murkrow is a rare, reverse holo card from the Unseen Forces set, released in 2005 and illustrated by Kouki Saitou. It has held a following among collectors of that era ever since.
