Omastar #40 value & price

Tap to open
Omastar #40 is one of those quietly charming cards from the original Fossil set, released back in 1999, where a fossil turned back into a living Pokemon right there on the card art thanks to Ken Sugimori. It's an uncommon, not a flashy holo chase card, but it still has that late 90s nostalgia pull for anyone who remembers cracking Fossil packs as a kid. If you're checking Omastar value or Omastar price right now, the short answer is it's a modest, accessible card that raw sits at $2, which makes it approachable for anyone building a set rather than chasing a jackpot.

The collector's take on Omastar
Is Omastar worth grading?
So is Omastar worth grading? Let's be honest about the math first. A raw copy sits at $2, and a PSA 10 comes in at $3, which lines up with that roughly 1.5x jump collectors talk about between ungraded and gem mint. Interestingly, a Grade 9 here actually sits higher at $8, so the sweet spot for this particular card isn't necessarily a perfect 10. Grading itself costs money and takes time, and there's real risk your card comes back a 9 or lower after fees, so for a card at this price point, it usually only makes sense if you already love the card, have a genuinely clean copy, or are grading a batch together to spread out the cost. For most casual collectors, keeping it raw and enjoying it is the smarter move.
How rare is Omastar?
Across every grading company combined, there are 499 graded copies of Omastar on record, and of those, only 31 have made it to a PSA 10. That's a fairly tight slice at the very top, which tells you gem mint copies don't show up often even though the card itself isn't considered rare in the traditional sense. For a card with this kind of population spread, that top tier scarcity is part of why a PSA 10 commands a premium over raw, even if the overall dollar figures stay modest for an uncommon Fossil card.
Where can you pull Omastar?
PackSpy has tracked Omastar being pulled 22 times across collector-crypt, courtyard, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull value reaching $98, so it clearly does turn up in the wild now and then. We've seen it show up in Anime Pop Culture Gacha, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pack 5, and Wildcard Starter Pack, which spans everything from themed gacha style breaks to more straightforward starter packs. It's worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't turn a profit, but having real pull data like this, rather than just a price guide number, gives you an actual sense of where this card surfaces across pack sites.
Questions people ask
How much is Omastar worth?+
A raw, ungraded Omastar from Fossil is valued at $2. Graded copies can be worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $8 and a PSA 10 at $3, so condition and grading company results matter more than you might expect.
Is Omastar worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. The jump to PSA 10 is about 1.5x the raw price, landing at $3, but with only 31 PSA 10s out of 499 total graded copies, hitting gem mint isn't guaranteed, and grading fees can outweigh the upside for a card at this value.
How much is a PSA 10 Omastar worth?+
A PSA 10 Omastar is valued at $3, which works out to roughly 1.5x the raw card's $2 price. Interestingly, a Grade 9 copy is currently valued higher at $8, so it's worth checking both tiers before deciding whether to grade.
