The collector's take on Pidgeot ex

Is Pidgeot ex worth grading?

Here's the honest math on Pidgeot ex price at each grade: raw is $18, a Grade 9 comes in around $33, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy jumps to $163, which works out to about 9.3 times the raw price. That's a real gap, but grading isn't free and it isn't a sure thing either. Submission fees, shipping, and turnaround time all eat into any profit, and centering or a stray print line can knock a card down to a 9 even when it looks perfect to the naked eye. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, corners clean and centering even, it's worth considering. If it's got any soft edges or whitening, you're often better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.

How rare is Pidgeot ex?

Across all grading companies combined, there are 9,865 graded copies of Pidgeot ex on record, and only 2,645 of those made it to PSA 10. That's roughly a quarter of graded copies hitting gem mint, which tells you gem mint isn't rare in the sense of nearly impossible, but it's far from guaranteed either. That population spread is exactly why the price difference between a raw card and a PSA 10 holds up: enough copies exist to keep the card accessible, but not so many perfect ones that a PSA 10 feels common.

Where can you pull Pidgeot ex?

PackSpy has tracked 112 recorded pulls of Pidgeot ex across collector-crypt, courtyard, packs, and lastpack, so we can tell you with real data where this card actually shows up rather than just guessing. It's turned up in packs like Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, XY Evolutions, Pokemon Basic Pack, and Catch 'em All - Obsidian Flames. The biggest single pull we've recorded came in at $2,660, which shows what's possible when a high grade copy lands, though that kind of hit is the exception, not the rule. Worth saying plainly: opening packs chasing a card like this is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you spend, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

Is Pidgeot ex worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at about 9.3 times the raw price. But with 9,865 copies graded and only 2,645 reaching PSA 10, gem mint isn't automatic, so weigh the grading fees and the condition of your card honestly before sending it in.
