Pupitar Reverse Holo #51 value & price

Tap to open
Pupitar has always been one of those in-between Pokemon that collectors quietly love, the awkward rock-armored stage before Tyranitar, and this Reverse Holo #51 from the 2005 Delta Species set gives it a nice bit of shine. It is an uncommon card illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, and if you are trying to pin down Pupitar value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits around $25 today. Not a chase card, but a genuinely fun one to track, especially with the reverse holo foil catching the light.

The collector's take on Pupitar
Is Pupitar worth grading?
So is Pupitar worth grading? Here is the honest picture: raw copies run about $25, and a PSA 10 comes in at basically the same, $25, since a Gem Mint copy is worth 1.0x the raw price for this card. Where it gets interesting is Grade 9, which actually sits higher at $51. That is a bit unusual and worth knowing before you send a card off, since grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your Pupitar comes back a 10. With only 35 PSA 10s on record out of 165 total graded copies, gem mint is not something you just walk into. If your copy already looks sharp with clean edges and centering, grading can make sense, but going in expecting a PSA 10 payoff to dwarf the raw price is not realistic here.
How rare is Pupitar?
Scarcity-wise, Pupitar Reverse Holo #51 is not a card you see flooding the market. There are 165 graded copies total, and of those just 35 have hit PSA 10. That is a fairly tight slice at the top, which tells you gem mint condition is genuinely hard to land, whether that comes down to centering, edge wear from the original print run, or just the wear and tear of nearly two decades since Delta Species released in 2005. It is not a card with huge population numbers to begin with, so every graded copy, especially at the high end, carries a bit more weight for collectors building out a set.
Where can you pull Pupitar?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guide estimates alone. We have recorded Pupitar being pulled 6 times, all from collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $154. It has also shown up in the Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack. That is useful context if you are wondering whether to chase this card in packs versus just buying one outright: it does turn up, but it is not a guaranteed hit, and like any pack opening, the odds favor the house more often than not. Buying raw on the secondary market remains the more predictable route if you just want the card in hand.
Questions people ask
How much is Pupitar worth?+
A raw, ungraded Pupitar Reverse Holo #51 from Delta Species is worth about $25 right now. Graded copies vary a bit: a Grade 9 sits at $51, while a PSA 10 comes in around $25, matching the raw price at roughly 1.0x. So the value stays fairly steady whether your copy is raw or graded gem mint.
Is Pupitar worth grading?+
It depends on what you are hoping to get out of it. Since PSA 10 value sits close to raw value at about $25 each, grading mainly makes sense if you want the card certified or protected rather than expecting a big price jump. With only 35 PSA 10s out of 165 total graded, hitting gem mint is not easy, so factor in grading costs and the real chance your copy comes back lower.
Why is the Pupitar Reverse Holo #51 print worth more than the standard one?+
Reverse holos generally carry a bit more appeal than the standard non-holo print because of that foil pattern across the card background, which makes them stand out in a binder or a bulk box. Collectors chasing full reverse holo sets from Delta Species also help keep demand steady for these variants. It is less about rarity in raw pull odds and more about the visual pop and the completionist itch it scratches.
