Ninetales has always had that quiet, elegant appeal among Pokemon collectors, the kind of card that doesn't shout but still turns heads in a binder. This reverse holo version, card #17 from the 2002 Legendary Collection set, carries Ken Sugimori's original artwork and Holo Rare status, and it's become a genuine touchstone for anyone tracking Ninetales value today. Right now a raw copy sits at $266, while a pristine PSA 10 climbs all the way to $13,999, so there's a real story in the numbers here.

The collector's take on Ninetales
Is Ninetales worth grading?
So is Ninetales worth grading? It depends on your patience and your tolerance for risk. A PSA 10 is worth 52.7 times what the raw card sells for, which sounds like a no-brainer until you remember that gem mint is a hard bar to clear, especially on a 2002 card that's had two decades to pick up whitening, edge wear, or print imperfections. A Grade 9 brings $605, a solid step up from raw but nowhere near the PSA 10 price, and that gap tells you most of the jump lives right at the very top grade. Add in grading fees, turnaround time, and the chance your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10, and grading starts to feel less like a guarantee and more like a calculated bet. If your copy already looks clean under a light and a loupe, it's probably worth the shot. If it's got soft corners or surface scratches, you might be paying to confirm bad news.
How rare is Ninetales?
Only 1,261 copies of this Ninetales have ever been graded, and of those, just 28 have earned a PSA 10. That's a small slice of an already small pool, and it explains why gem mint copies command such a premium over everything else. When a card is this hard to find in top condition, scarcity does a lot of the pricing work on its own, and it's part of why the distance between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 is so wide here.
Where can you pull Ninetales?
Across the pack sites PackSpy tracks, this Ninetales has been pulled 131 times, showing up on courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and mnstr. The biggest recorded pull came in at $1,605, which gives you a real sense of what a lucky rip can actually pay out in practice. We've seen it turn up in Pokemon Pro Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Pokemon Premium Pack listings, so it's not locked to one product. Worth saying plainly though, opening packs chasing a specific card is still a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat these numbers as a fun signal rather than a promise.
Questions people ask
How much is Ninetales worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of this Ninetales Reverse Holo #17 currently sits at $266. Once graded, the value climbs sharply, with a Grade 9 worth $605 and a PSA 10 reaching $13,999, so condition really does drive the price here.
Is Ninetales worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 52.7 times the raw price, but gem mint copies are rare, with only 28 out of 1,261 graded examples hitting that top grade. Weigh the grading cost and the risk of a lower grade against your card's actual condition before sending it in.
Why is the Ninetales Reverse Holo #17 print worth more than the standard one?+
The reverse holo treatment on this Legendary Collection card makes it visually distinct and rarer to pull compared to the standard version, which collectors have always valued. Combined with its Holo Rare status and Ken Sugimori's artwork, it's earned a lasting spot on collector want lists since the set released in 2002.
