Persian — collector's take

Is Persian worth grading?

So is Persian worth grading? Here's the honest math: a PSA 10 brings $298, which works out to about 4.3 times what the raw card sells for at $70. That's a real jump, and it's exactly why so many people send copies off to get graded. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, centering, edge wear and surface flaws that you'd never notice with the naked eye can knock a card down to a Grade 9, which only fetches $80. Grading fees, shipping and the wait time all eat into that potential profit too, so before you submit a copy, take a hard look at it under good light. If it's clean, the upside is there. If it's borderline, you might just be paying to find out it's a Grade 9.

How rare is it?

There's no official population data locked in yet for Persian at the gem mint level, which is fairly normal for a card still this fresh off the presses from 2024. What we do know is that Illustration Rares as a category are printed to be scarcer than your standard holo, which is part of why the raw price already sits at $70 rather than pocket change. As grading companies process more submissions and populations start to firm up, expect PSA 10 copies to stay the tightest tier by far, that's usually how it goes with cards this new.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pack openings across sites rather than just quoting a price guide. We've recorded Persian pulled 47 times across courtyard, mnstr and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $277. If you're chasing this one, it's shown up in Pokémon Basic Pack, Pack 1, Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and Pokémon Ultra (Spicy). Worth remembering though, opening packs is gambling in the end, most rips don't come close to covering what you paid, so treat any pull as a nice surprise rather than an expectation.
