PLANETA Tsuji's artwork on this one is a big part of the appeal, all flowing tails and quiet elegance, and that's why it shows up so often in people asking about Ninetales ex value.

The collector's take on Ninetales ex
Is Ninetales ex worth grading?
So is Ninetales ex worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $15, a Grade 9 gets you to $34, and a true PSA 10 brings $135, which works out to roughly 9.0x what the ungraded card sells for. That's a real jump, no question, but gem mint is genuinely tough to pull off on a card like this since S&V 151 pulls often show up with the tiniest whitening on the edges or a soft corner from the pack itself. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're gambling that your particular copy is flawless enough to clear that PSA 10 bar. If you already have a sharp, clean copy sitting in a sleeve, it's worth sending in. If it's a bit rough, the $15 to $34 range is probably the more realistic outcome and that's still a fine little return.
How rare is Ninetales ex?
Ultra Rares in Scarlet & Violet 151 were never meant to be common pulls, and Ninetales ex fits that mold. We don't have exact population numbers to lean on here, but the pricing structure tells its own story: a PSA 10 commanding 9.0x the raw price only happens when gem mint copies are genuinely scarce relative to demand. That gap between $15 raw and $135 graded is the market quietly telling you how few copies come out of packs in perfect condition, and it's a big part of why collectors keep circling back to this one.
Where can you pull Ninetales ex?
This is where our tracking actually earns its keep. PackSpy has logged 40 real pulls of Ninetales ex across sites like Courtyard and Collector Crypt, with the best recorded hit landing at $38, well above that $15 raw baseline. We've seen it turn up in a real mix of pack types too, from the Pokémon Pro Pack and Pokémon Basic Pack to the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it's not locked to one specific product. That said, it's worth saying plainly: most pack openings don't return your money, and Ninetales ex is a nice pull when it happens rather than something to bank on. If you want a guaranteed copy, buying raw or graded on the secondary market is still the more predictable route.
