The collector's take on Ninetales EX
Is Ninetales EX worth grading?
So is Ninetales EX worth grading? A raw copy runs $6, a Grade 9 climbs to $21, and a PSA 10 sits at $48, which works out to about 8.6 times the ungraded price. That is a real jump, but hitting a genuine gem mint copy is not guaranteed, this card has to come out of the pack with sharp corners and clean edges to have a shot at a 10. Once you factor in grading fees, shipping, and the wait time, sending in a raw copy at $6 only makes sense if you already suspect it is a strong candidate, otherwise the math can eat your upside fast.
How rare is Ninetales EX?
Across all grading services, 4,016 copies of Ninetales EX have been graded, and of those, 3,227 came back as PSA 10. That is a notably high share landing at the top grade, which tells you this card is not a brutal pull to grade well, but it also means gem mint copies are not rare in a scarcity sense, they are simply the expected outcome for a well printed card. That relative abundance at the top is part of why the PSA 10 price sits at $48 rather than climbing much higher, plenty of supply keeps a ceiling on it.
Where can you pull Ninetales EX?
PackSpy has tracked 71 recorded pulls of Ninetales EX across courtyard and collector-crypt, so this is not a card that only exists in price guides, real people are opening it. The biggest recorded pull value hit $366, which shows what a strong grade or a lucky market moment can do even for a card with modest baseline value. We have seen it turn up in the Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, and Pokémon Pro Pack, so if you are chasing this one, those are the products worth watching. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble, most rips will not outpace what you spend, and the pull data here is meant to inform you, not promise a win.
Questions people ask
How much is Ninetales EX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Ninetales EX #188 is currently valued at $6. That is the baseline most collectors will see when buying or selling loose copies, before any grading is involved.
Is Ninetales EX worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. Grading can take it from $6 raw to $21 at Grade 9 or $48 at PSA 10, but gem mint status is not guaranteed, and grading fees plus wait time need to make sense against that potential $48 outcome.
How much is a PSA 10 Ninetales EX worth?+
A PSA 10 Ninetales EX is valued at $48, which is about 8.6 times the raw price of $6. Out of 4,016 total graded copies, 3,227 have achieved that PSA 10 grade, so gem mint copies make up a large share of the population.
