Tap to open
Nessa #164 is one of those quietly charming pulls from the Japanese VMAX Climax set, the kind of card that doesn't scream for attention but still gets a smile out of collectors who spot her in a binder. If you're checking Nessa value right now, the honest answer is that she sits at the affordable end of the spectrum, with raw copies going for $1, which makes her more of a fun set-completion card than a big investment. That said, the jump in Nessa price once you get into graded territory is worth understanding before you decide what to do with yours.

The collector's take on Nessa
Is Nessa worth grading?
So is Nessa worth grading? A raw copy sits at $1, but a PSA 10 climbs all the way up to $35, which works out to about 29.2 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of number that gets people reaching for their nicest-looking copy and a grading submission form. But here's the honest part: gem mint is hard to hit. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your card comes back a 10 instead of a 9, which only brings $12. If your copy has sharp corners and clean edges under a good light, it might be worth the shot. If it's got any soft spots, you may want to just enjoy it raw and save the fee.
How rare is Nessa?
Here's where Nessa gets genuinely interesting. Across all grading services, only 3 copies of this card have been graded, period. Of those, 2 came back as PSA 10. That's a tiny population by any measure, and it tells you two things: very few people have bothered submitting this card, and the ones who did got lucky more often than not. Low submission numbers usually mean the card isn't seen as a big money-maker, but it also means a graded copy, especially a PSA 10, is a genuinely rare thing to hold in your hands.
Where can you pull Nessa?
We've tracked Nessa being pulled 1 time across the pack sites we monitor, that pull came from lastpack, with a recorded value of $10, and she's shown up in starter-style packs. That's a pretty thin trail, which lines up with what the low grading population suggests: this isn't a card people are ripping open packs chasing. If you want a Nessa for your collection, your best bet is usually the secondary market rather than hoping she falls out of a pack, though it's always worth remembering that pack opening is a gamble where most rips don't pay off, and this card is a good reminder of that.
Questions people ask
How much is Nessa worth?+
A raw, ungraded Nessa #164 is valued at $1. It's a low-cost card overall, with most of the value only showing up once a copy gets graded and comes back looking sharp.
Is Nessa worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. A PSA 10 sells for $35, about 29.2 times the raw price, but a Grade 9 only brings $12, and gem mint is genuinely hard to land given how few copies exist. If your card looks flawless, it might be worth trying, but grading isn't free and there's real risk involved.
How much is a PSA 10 Nessa worth?+
A PSA 10 Nessa is valued at $35. With only 2 PSA 10 copies known to exist out of a total population of 3 graded cards, that top grade is genuinely scarce, which helps explain the price gap over the raw and Grade 9 versions.
