Palafin #111 comes from the Japanese Ruler of the Black Flame set, and it's one of those cards that quietly builds a following because of how sharp it looks in hand. If you're looking up Palafin value, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $3, but the picture changes fast once grading gets involved, and that gap is really the story here.

The collector's take on Palafin
Is Palafin worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting. A raw Palafin sits at $3, but a PSA 10 is worth $1,642, which works out to 547.3 times the raw price. That's a huge jump, and it's the kind of number that makes people want to send every copy they own straight to grading. But hold on for a second: gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, centering and edges on cards like this can trip up even careful pulls, and grading fees plus shipping and wait times eat into your margin if you land a Grade 9 instead, which sits at $254. So is Palafin worth grading? If you've got a copy that looks clean under a loupe with sharp corners and good centering, it's worth a shot. If it's rough around the edges, you're probably better off holding it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Palafin?
Right now there are 5,910 graded copies of Palafin on record, and of those, 4,303 have come back as PSA 10. That's a pretty telling ratio. It means gem mint isn't some impossible unicorn grade for this card, plenty of copies are hitting the top tier, but it also means the population of lower grades is comparatively thin. When most of the graded pool clusters at the top, it tells you the print quality was decent, and it puts real weight behind why a PSA 10 commands the price it does compared to raw.
Where can you pull Palafin?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. We've recorded Palafin pulled 152 times so far, showing up across courtyard, collector-crypt, and tilt-rips, and it's turned up in products like the Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack. The biggest single pull we've logged came in at $57. Worth remembering though: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Palafin worth?+
A raw, ungraded Palafin #111 from Ruler of the Black Flame is valued at $3. Once graded, the value climbs quite a bit depending on the grade, with a Grade 9 at $254 and a PSA 10 reaching $1,642.
Is Palafin worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sells for 547.3 times what a raw copy is worth. The catch is that gem mint isn't guaranteed, and grading costs money and time, so it really depends on the condition of your specific copy.
How much is a PSA 10 Palafin worth?+
A PSA 10 Palafin is worth $1,642. Out of 5,910 total graded copies on record, 4,303 have graded out at PSA 10, so gem mint copies are out there, but the value still reflects how much more desirable a perfect card is.
