Related Quilava & chase cards
Tap to open
Quilava #156 comes from the Japanese Neo Premium File set, one of those neat little releases that Pokemon put together as a kind of greatest-hits collection rather than a mainline expansion. It is not a card that turns heads with a huge price tag, sitting at $3 raw, but there is something charming about a fire type mid-evolution showing up in a specialty set like this. If you are here checking Quilava value, you are in the right spot, and the story gets more interesting once you look at what a top graded copy can bring.

The collector's take on Quilava
Is Quilava worth grading?
Here is the honest math: a raw Quilava sits at $3, a Grade 9 jumps to $24, and a PSA 10 sits at $140, which works out to about 41.3 times the raw price. That is a real gap, and it is the kind of number that gets collectors thinking about sending cards in. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it means no whitening on the edges, sharp corners, clean centering, and a lot of copies just do not have that going for them once they have been through packs and handling. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back a 10 instead of a 9 or lower, so before you submit, take a hard look at the card under good light and be realistic about what you are seeing.
How rare is Quilava?
Neo Premium File was a Japanese exclusive, and specialty sets like this tend to have smaller print runs than the mainline releases, which naturally puts a ceiling on how many copies are floating around today, especially in pristine condition. We do not have official population figures to point to here, but the pricing itself tells part of the story, a $140 PSA 10 against a $3 raw card suggests that gem mint copies are genuinely tough to come by relative to how common the raw card is. That kind of spread usually means the card is easy enough to find loose or lightly played, but a clean, grade worthy copy is a different animal entirely.
Where can you pull Quilava?
This is where PackSpy actually has something useful to tell you, because we track real pulls across pack opening sites rather than just guessing. Quilava has been pulled 16 times across mnstr and courtyard, and the biggest recorded pull came in at $246, which shows the ceiling is higher than the base value alone would suggest. We have also seen it turn up in Pack 2, the Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokemon Master Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore, so if you are chasing this one in packs rather than buying it outright, those are the products where it has actually shown up. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Quilava worth?+
A raw, ungraded Quilava from the Neo Premium File set is worth about $3. That is the baseline most people see when buying or selling loose copies, before grading enters the picture.
Is Quilava worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. A PSA 10 brings $140 against a $3 raw card, a jump of about 41.3x, but a Grade 9 only reaches $24, so the big money really lives at the top grade, and hitting that isn't guaranteed.
How much is a PSA 10 Quilava worth?+
A PSA 10 Quilava is valued at $140, making it by far the most valuable version of this card compared to the $3 raw price or the $24 a Grade 9 typically fetches.
