Onix #98 comes from Aquapolis, the 2003 set that a lot of collectors still have a soft spot for, and this common little rock snake has quietly held its own ever since. Illustrated by Hajime Kusajima, it is not a card that turns heads for rarity on paper, but if you are here checking Onix value, the short answer is it sits at a modest but real price point that makes it a fun one to track. A raw copy runs about $7, which is exactly the kind of number that makes people curious what a graded version could bring.

The collector's take on Onix

Is Onix worth grading?

Here is the honest math: a raw Onix goes for $7, while a PSA 10 sells for $49, which works out to 7.1 times the ungraded price. That sounds like a nice jump, and it is, but getting a 10 is not a given. Out of 262 total graded copies, only 92 have come back gem mint, so plenty of submissions land at Grade 9 or below, and a Grade 9 only fetches $41. Grading fees, shipping, and turnaround time all eat into that potential profit, so before you send one in, think about whether the card is centered well and free of the little print and edge flaws that keep Aquapolis commons out of that top slot. For a $7 card, it can make more sense to grade a few at once or stick to copies you genuinely believe are sharp.

How rare is Onix?

With only 262 examples graded across all conditions, Onix is not a card that floods the population reports, and that already tells you something about how few people bother sending a common in for grading in the first place. Of those, 92 have hit PSA 10, so gem mint copies exist but they are far from common even within an already small pool. That kind of split keeps the PSA 10 price at $49 rather than something wild, since supply and demand here are both modest, but it also means a clean 10 is a genuine accomplishment for the card rather than something you stumble into easily.

Where can you pull Onix?

This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls across sites rather than just guessing from price guides. Onix has shown up 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, and mnstr, so it is a card that circulates fairly steadily through pack breaks rather than sitting only on the secondary market. We have also seen it pop up in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Anime Pop Culture Gacha, with the biggest recorded pull for this card landing at $122. That said, worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble no matter how many times a card shows up, most rips do not pay for themselves, and Onix is a nice bonus hit rather than a reason to chase packs on its own.

Questions people ask

How much is Onix worth?+

A raw, ungraded Onix from Aquapolis is worth about $7. That is the baseline most collectors reference, though graded copies climb from there depending on condition.

Is Onix worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for $49 compared to $7 raw, a 7.1x jump. Just know that only 92 of the 262 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it is not a sure thing, and grading costs should factor into your decision.

How much is a PSA 10 Onix worth?+

A PSA 10 Onix is valued at $49, well above the $7 raw price and the $41 typical for a Grade 9. With only 92 PSA 10s in the population of 262 graded copies, it is a solid, if not extreme, step up for a common card.
