Question 1

Is Ninetales worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Ninetales worth grading? A PSA 10 brings $24 against a raw price of $2, which works out to about 13.2 times the ungraded value, a real jump on paper. But grading costs money and takes time, and hitting a true gem mint copy isn't guaranteed, plenty of raw cards come back as a Grade 9 instead, which currently sits at that same $2 mark as raw. That means the only real financial upside is landing that PSA 10, and with grading fees and shipping factored in, it's worth being honest with yourself about whether the numbers actually work out before you send one in. For a lot of collectors, the better reason to grade Ninetales is simply to protect a copy you love, not to flip it for profit.

Question 2

How rare is Ninetales?

Accepted Answer

Across the grading population, only 71 copies of Ninetales have been graded in total, and of those, 38 have come back as PSA 10. That's actually a fairly high gem rate compared to a lot of cards out there, meaning Ninetales isn't especially hard to grade well when copies do get submitted. The scarcity here isn't extreme, but it does help explain why the PSA 10 price holds a real premium over raw and Grade 9 copies, even if it's not a card with jaw-dropping numbers behind it.

Question 3

Where can you pull Ninetales?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls happening on live pack sites, not just guesses. We've recorded Ninetales pulled 117 times across sites including tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, and packs, so it does show up with some regularity if you're opening online. It's turned up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack, and the biggest recorded pull tied to it hit $1,187. Worth remembering though, opening packs is gambling at the end of the day, most rips don't come out ahead, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation.

Question 4

How much is Ninetales worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Ninetales #15 from the Tag Bolt set is valued around $2. Grade 9 copies currently sit at that same $2 mark, while a PSA 10 is worth notably more at $24. So the real value jump only shows up once a copy hits that top grade.

Question 5

Is Ninetales worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your goals. The PSA 10 price is about 13.2 times the raw value, which sounds appealing, but grading costs and the chance of landing a Grade 9 instead mean the math doesn't always favor grading purely for profit. If you're grading a copy you already love for protection, that's a different story.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Ninetales worth?
