The collector's take on Pidgey

Is Pidgey worth grading?

So is Pidgey worth grading? A PSA 10 sits at 10.0x the raw price, jumping from $4 ungraded to $39 in gem mint condition. That's a real multiplier on paper, but grading isn't free, and you're paying submission fees and waiting on turnaround time before you know what you actually have. A Grade 9 only brings $17, so anything short of that perfect 10 barely covers your costs once shipping and fees are factored in. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, centered well with sharp corners, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got the usual print or handling wear, honestly, raw is probably the smarter play here.

How rare is Pidgey?

We don't have official population numbers to point to for Pidgey #118, so it's hard to say exactly how many gem mint copies exist versus how many are floating around raw. What we can say is that this card comes from a Korean set, which naturally narrows the pool of collectors chasing it compared to English releases, and that tends to keep pricing modest but steady rather than volatile. Scarcity here isn't about a razor-thin population report, it's more about a niche corner of the market that stays quietly consistent.

Where can you pull Pidgey?

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep: we've recorded Pidgey pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, and courtyard, so this isn't a card you'll wait years to see. It's turned up in Novice Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack, mostly entry-level or starter-style openings rather than premium boxes. The biggest recorded pull value we've tracked for this card sits at $390, which tells you that even a common Pidgey can occasionally land in a lucky, well-graded moment. Worth remembering though, most pack openings don't pay off like that, and buying packs purely to chase a card like this is a gamble more often than a payday.

Questions people ask

How much is Pidgey worth?+

A raw, ungraded Pidgey #118 from Ruler of the Black Flame is valued at $4 right now. That's the baseline most collectors reference before factoring in grading or condition.

Is Pidgey worth grading?+

It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 brings $39, which is 10.0x the raw value of $4, but a Grade 9 only reaches $17, so anything less than gem mint may not cover your grading costs.

How much is a PSA 10 Pidgey worth?+

A PSA 10, gem mint Pidgey #118 is valued at $39. It's a solid jump over raw and Grade 9 prices, but hitting that perfect grade isn't guaranteed, so factor in the risk before submitting.
