Pidgeot ex — collector's take
Is Pidgeot ex worth grading?
So is Pidgeot ex worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A raw copy runs $20, a Grade 9 gets you to $34, and a true PSA 10 jumps all the way to $162, which works out to 8.3x the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: centering, edge wear, and surface issues on a special illustration rare like this one are unforgiving under a grader's eye, and plenty of nice-looking raw cards come back as an 8 or 9 instead. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you commit, and only send in copies that look genuinely clean to your eye first. If you've got a sharp one, the upside is there. If you're on the fence, it might be worth staying raw and enjoying the card as is.
How rare is it?
Across all grading submissions, 9,865 copies of Pidgeot ex have been graded, and of those only 2,645 have come back as a PSA 10. That's roughly a quarter of graded copies hitting the top grade, which tells you gem mint isn't a given even among cards people already thought were good enough to submit. That population split is a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above raw and Grade 9, scarcity at the top end is doing real work in that valuation.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just relying on price guides. We've recorded Pidgeot ex pulled 72 times across packs, collector-crypt, and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $199. It's shown up in a handful of different pack types too, including XY Evolutions, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Anime Pop Culture Gacha. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid in, so treat any pull as a nice surprise rather than an expectation.
