Orthworm ex is the #162 Ultra Rare from the 2024 Stellar Crown set, brought to life by illustrator PLANETA Mochizuki in that eerie, coiled artwork that makes the card stand out in a binder. If you are here looking up Orthworm ex value, the short answer is that it sits at the affordable end of the Ultra Rare spectrum, which actually makes it a fun one to chase rather than a heartbreaker to miss. Collectors like it for the art and the character as much as anything, and that combination of newer set plus striking design is exactly why people keep searching for what it is worth.

The collector's take on Orthworm ex
Is Orthworm ex worth grading?
So is Orthworm ex worth grading? Right now a raw, ungraded copy sits at $2, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $26, which works out to about 14.6 times the raw price. That sounds like a nice jump on paper, but grading fees, shipping and the wait time all eat into that gap fast, and with population numbers showing plenty of copies never quite reach that top grade, you have to be realistic about your odds. If you already suspect your copy is sharp, centered and free of the usual whitening or edge wear, it might be worth sending in for fun or for the challenge. But purely as a money move, at these price points grading this particular card is more of a hobbyist's gamble than a clear win.
How rare is Orthworm ex?
Across all grading companies combined, PackSpy shows 542 total graded copies of Orthworm ex, and out of those, 282 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That is actually a pretty high share of gem mints relative to the total population, which tells you this card grades well when people bother to send it in. It also explains why the PSA 10 price stays fairly grounded rather than spiking, since gem mint copies are not exactly rare within the graded pool, even if the overall population itself is modest.
Where can you pull Orthworm ex?
This is where PackSpy's own pull tracking comes in handy, since we watch what actually comes out of packs across online break and rip sites rather than relying on guesswork. Orthworm ex has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips and general pack breaks, and we have seen it turn up in the Pokemon Dollar Pack, the Pokemon Dime Pack, and Catch 'em All - Stellar Crown. The biggest recorded pull value for this card sits at $1, which is a good reminder that most pack pulls, this one included, do not turn a profit. If you are chasing it for a collection, buying it directly on the secondary market is usually the steadier route, but if you love the thrill of the rip, at least now you know roughly where it has been showing up.
Questions people ask
How much is Orthworm ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Orthworm ex from Stellar Crown is currently valued at $2. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $17 and a PSA 10 reaching $26.
Is Orthworm ex worth grading?+
It depends on what you're after. The jump from raw at $2 to PSA 10 at $26 is about 14.6 times the value, but with grading costs and the real chance of landing a Grade 9 instead of a perfect 10, the math is tight at these price points, so grade for the love of it more than for guaranteed profit.
How much is a PSA 10 Orthworm ex worth?+
A PSA 10 gem mint Orthworm ex is worth $26. Out of 542 total graded copies recorded, 282 have achieved that top PSA 10 grade, so it is an achievable but not guaranteed result if you send one in.
