Nessa is one of the standout secret rares from Vivid Voltage, the 2020 set that gave us a whole wave of gorgeous gym leader full arts, and this one still turns heads thanks to Ryuta Fuse's artwork. If you're checking Nessa value or trying to figure out how much is Nessa worth before buying, selling, or grading your copy, the short answer is that a raw copy sits around $11, with real upside if it comes back graded. It's not a chase card that breaks the bank, but it's a genuinely lovely piece to own and a fun one to track.

The collector's take on Nessa
Is Nessa worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Nessa runs about $11, while a PSA 10 sits at $53, which works out to 4.8x the raw price. That's a real jump, but it only pays off if the card actually comes back gem mint, and full art secret rares like this one are notoriously easy to ding on the edges or pick up a print line on, so a good chunk of submissions land at Grade 9 instead, worth $22. Once you factor in grading fees and the wait time, sending in a raw copy that looks strong in hand can make sense, but sending in a rough one is usually just paying money to confirm what you already knew. If your copy is centered well and clean under a light, it's worth considering. If it has soft corners or scratches, save the fee and enjoy it raw.
How rare is Nessa?
As a secret rare, Nessa was never meant to be common in the first place, secret rares sit above the standard rarity slots in a set and print in smaller numbers by design. We don't have a hard population count to point to here, but that rarity tier alone explains why it holds value well above a typical holo, and why a true gem mint copy commands the kind of premium we see with the PSA 10 price. Scarcity at the top grade is really what drives the gap between a raw card and a graded one, more than anything else.
Where can you pull Nessa?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because we don't just estimate what a card might be worth, we log real pulls happening across pack sites in real time. Nessa has been pulled 27 times in our records, showing up across courtyard, tilt-rips, packs, lastpack, and collector-crypt, so it's not a card that's vanished from circulation. The biggest recorded pull on this card hit $1,449, which shows how much a lucky grade or hot moment can swing things. We've seen it come out of Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, and even a Poke Waifu pack, which is a good reminder that this card turns up in all kinds of pack formats, not just the obvious ones. Worth saying plainly though, opening packs chasing a specific card is a gamble, and most rips don't cover their cost, so if you want Nessa specifically, buying a known copy off the secondary market is usually the steadier route.

Is Nessa worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at 4.8x the raw price. But gem mint copies aren't easy to land, so it's really only worth the fee and the wait if your copy already looks clean and well centered in hand.
