Question 1

Is Omanyte worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Omanyte worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy sits around $2, and a PSA 10 sits at $11, which works out to about 7.3 times the raw price. That sounds like a nice jump on paper, but grading fees and shipping can eat into that pretty fast, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. A Grade 9 is worth $25 in this case, oddly enough sitting above the PSA 10 figure, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes and market pricing don't always move in the direction you'd expect. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, centered well with clean edges, it might be worth the gamble. If it's a little rough around the edges, it's probably happier staying raw and living in a binder.

Question 2

How rare is Omanyte?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading companies combined, only 55 copies of this Omanyte have been graded, and of those, 24 have hit PSA 10. That's a fairly small pool overall, but it also means gem mint copies aren't as impossibly rare as you'll see on some chase cards, nearly half the graded population landed at the top grade. For a card at Uncommon rarity, that population size tells you most owners aren't bothering to grade it, which lines up with the modest raw price. Scarcity here isn't really the story, this is a card valued more for its charm than its rarity.

Question 3

Where can you pull Omanyte?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pack pulls across sites rather than just guessing at odds. Omanyte has been pulled 49 times across sites we monitor, including lastpack, and it's shown up in packs listed under noobie. Worth noting though, the biggest recorded pull value for this card sits at $0, which is a fair reminder of how pack opening actually works: you're chasing excitement and the occasional lucky hit, not guaranteed profit, and most rips don't pay for themselves. If you specifically want this Omanyte for a collection, buying it directly on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route.

Question 4

How much is Omanyte worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded copy of this Omanyte Reverse Holo is valued at $2. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $25 and a PSA 10 at $11, so the price really depends on condition and whether it's been graded at all.

Question 5

Is Omanyte worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 7.3 times what the raw card is worth. But with only 55 copies graded so far and grading fees to consider, it's worth being honest with yourself about the card's condition before sending it in.

Question 6

Why is the Omanyte Reverse Holo #138 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

Reverse holo cards get that shimmering foil treatment across the card background instead of just the artwork, which makes them stand out on a shelf and tends to make them a bit more sought after by collectors. Combined with Akira Komayama's artwork here, it just has a bit more visual presence than a plain non-holo print.
