The collector's take on Palafin
Is Palafin worth grading?
So is Palafin worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded copy runs about $5, while a PSA 10 sits at $95, which works out to roughly 17.5 times the raw price. That jump looks tempting on paper, but grading costs money upfront, takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. A Grade 9 only fetches $18, so if your card has even a small print line or a soft corner, you could spend more on the grading fee than you gain in value. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a light and a loupe, it might be worth the gamble. If it's a little rough, it's probably happier staying raw or going straight to a buyer who just wants the art.
How rare is it?
Across all the copies submitted for grading, 2,928 have come back with a grade, and only 701 of those earned a PSA 10. That's not a tiny number, but it does tell you that gem mint Palafins are the minority, not the norm, out of everything that's been graded. This kind of split is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures. Scarcity at the top end is what drives the premium, even on a card that's fairly easy to find raw.
Where to pull it
We've tracked Palafin being pulled 22 times across pack sites and lastpack, which gives us a real look at where it actually shows up rather than just guessing. It's turned up in Catch 'em All - Obsidian Flames boxes, plus rookie, starter, Paldea Safari and trainer style packs, so it's not locked to one specific box type. The biggest recorded pull we've seen came in at $615, which shows that even a $5 raw card can land in a pack worth chasing when the timing and condition line up. That said, opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come close to that number, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation.
Questions people ask
How much is Palafin worth?+
A raw, ungraded Palafin from Obsidian Flames is worth about $5. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $18 and a PSA 10 reaching $95, so condition and grading make a real difference to Palafin price.
Is Palafin worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 sells for roughly 17.5 times the raw price, which sounds great, but grading costs money and only 701 out of 2,928 graded copies have hit that top grade. If your card is genuinely sharp and clean, grading can pay off, but it's a real risk, not a sure thing.
What set is Palafin from?+
Palafin #200 comes from Obsidian Flames, released in 2023, and it's an Illustration Rare illustrated by Akira Komayama. It's one of the more eye-catching cards from that set, which is a big part of why collectors keep hunting it down.
