Question 1

Is Ninetales worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here is the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Ninetales runs about $16, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy jumps all the way to $1,740, which works out to roughly 107.6 times the raw price. That is a big gap, and it is tempting to send every copy you own off to get graded. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it is genuinely hard to hit, especially on a card from this era where centering and surface wear love to sneak in. A Grade 9 lands at $129, which is still a nice return but nowhere near the PSA 10 number, so a lot of your outcome depends on landing that perfect grade. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you commit, and only send in copies that look sharp to your eye first.

Question 2

How rare is Ninetales?

Accepted Answer

We do not have a hard population count to point to here, but Ninetales carries its Rare status from a set, Base Set 2, that was already a smaller, more curated release compared to the original Base Set. That rarity tier alone tells you these were never printed in the same flood as common cards, and pristine survivors get thinner every year as older cardboard ages, bends, and gets loved a little too hard. That natural scarcity is part of why the jump from raw to PSA 10 is so dramatic, clean copies simply do not show up as often as demand for them does.

Question 3

Where can you pull Ninetales?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack-opening sites rather than just guessing. Ninetales has been recorded pulled 118 times across courtyard, tilt-rips, collector-crypt, mnstr, and packs, with the single biggest recorded pull landing at $1,187. It has turned up in mixes like The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokemon Dime Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack, so if you are hunting one live, those are the kinds of packs to watch. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble in either direction, most rips do not beat what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation.

Question 4

How much is Ninetales worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Ninetales is valued at $16 right now. If you have a graded copy, a Grade 9 sits at $129, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy climbs to $1,740, so condition makes a real difference here.

Question 5

Is Ninetales worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the copy in hand. The PSA 10 price of $1,740 is about 107.6 times the raw value of $16, which sounds great, but gem mint copies are tough to land and grading takes time and money with no guaranteed outcome. If your card already looks clean and well-centered, it is a reasonable bet, otherwise the safer play might be enjoying it raw.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Ninetales worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Ninetales currently sits at $1,740, a big step up from the $129 mark for a Grade 9 and a huge jump from the $16 raw price. That gap is exactly why gem mint copies get so much attention from collectors.
