Tap to open
Nincada is one of those quiet little bug-type cards from the 2004 Topps Advanced Challenge set that most people walk past in a binder, but it has its own small story to tell. It's not a card that's going to fund a vacation, but if you're checking Nincada value because you just pulled one or found one in an old box, you're in the right place. Right now this card sits at a modest but steady price point across every grade, which actually makes it a fun one to track rather than stress over.

The collector's take on Nincada
Is Nincada worth grading?
Here's the honest answer on whether Nincada is worth grading: probably not, and that's okay. A raw copy sits at $2, and a PSA 10 comes in at $2 as well, meaning gem mint condition only gets you to 1.0x the raw price. Interestingly, a Grade 9 actually books lower at $1, which is a good reminder that grading doesn't always add value, sometimes it just adds a plastic slab and a fee. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's always a chance your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, so for a card like this, most collectors would be better off enjoying it raw unless you're grading for the love of the process rather than the payout.
How rare is Nincada?
Scarcity is where Nincada gets genuinely interesting. Across every grading company combined, there are only 3 graded copies of this card in existence, and 2 of those are PSA 10s. That's a tiny population by any measure, and it tells you that almost nobody has bothered sending this card in, likely because the raw price doesn't justify the fee for most people. When a card is graded that rarely, the population numbers say more about collector behavior than about true rarity, but it still means a PSA 10 Nincada is a genuinely uncommon thing to hold in hand.
Where can you pull Nincada?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across live pack sites rather than just guessing. We've recorded Nincada pulled 17 times across lastpack, courtyard, and mnstr, and the biggest pull we've logged came in at $35. It's shown up in packs like noobie, the Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pack 1, so if you're chasing this one specifically, those are the kinds of packs where it's actually turned up in the wild. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble by nature, most rips don't cover their cost, and Nincada is a nice example of a card you're more likely to land as a bonus than to build a strategy around.
Questions people ask
How much is Nincada worth?+
A raw or ungraded Nincada from the 2004 Topps Advanced Challenge set is valued at $2. It's a low but stable price, the kind of card that's fun to have in a collection without needing to watch the market closely.
Is Nincada worth grading?+
Not really, and it's worth being upfront about that. A PSA 10 only brings $2, the same as a raw copy, while a Grade 9 actually comes in lower at $1, so the grading fee is unlikely to pay for itself here.
How much is a PSA 10 Nincada worth?+
A PSA 10 Nincada is valued at $2, which works out to 1.0x the raw price. With only 3 total graded copies recorded and 2 of them PSA 10s, it's a genuinely scarce grade even if the price stays modest.
