The collector's take on Palafin ex
Is Palafin ex worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw Palafin ex runs $39, a Grade 9 nudges it up to $42, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $157, which works out to about 4.0x the raw price. That's a real gap, but grading isn't free and it isn't guaranteed. You're paying submission fees and waiting weeks, and there's no promise your copy comes back gem mint rather than a 9. If you've got a card that's sharp in hand, centered well, with clean edges and no whitening, grading can make sense. If it's got soft corners or a scratch you're hoping the grader won't notice, save your money and just enjoy it raw.
How rare is Palafin ex?
Across all grading companies, only 3,408 copies of Palafin ex have been graded so far, and of those, 1,363 have earned a PSA 10. That's actually a decent chunk landing in gem mint territory, which tells you this card isn't brutally hard to pull off in top condition, but it also means the population isn't so small that a PSA 10 becomes untouchable. It's a nice middle ground: scarce enough to hold value, common enough that a patient collector can find one without draining their savings.
Where can you pull Palafin ex?
We've tracked 16 real pulls of Palafin ex across sites like Collector Crypt and Courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $220. It's shown up in a mix of products, from the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack and Pokémon Starter Pack to the Water Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pokémon Ultra (Spicy). That spread tells you it's not tied to one specific box, it just turns up here and there when the odds line up. Worth remembering too: opening packs chasing a specific card is a gamble, and most rips don't cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation.

Is Palafin ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at roughly 4.0x the raw price of $39. But grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee of gem mint, so it's worth grading mainly if your copy already looks clean and well centered.
What set is Palafin ex from?+
Palafin ex #151 comes from the Prismatic Evolutions set, released in 2025. It's a special illustration rare featuring artwork by Tetsuo Hara, which is part of why collectors love tracking it down.
