Quilava 1st Edition #46 value & price
Related Quilava & chase cards
Tap to open
Quilava is that scrappy little Fire-type that Pokemon fans have had a soft spot for since Neo Genesis first landed in 2000, and this 1st Edition #46 printing is the version collectors specifically hunt down. It is an Uncommon card illustrated by Ken Sugimori, and if you are looking at a Quilava value page because you just found one in a binder or a pack, the short answer is that raw copies sit around $10, with graded examples climbing a lot higher from there. It is not a flashy card, but it carries real nostalgia, and that keeps steady demand around it.

The collector's take on Quilava
Is Quilava worth grading?
So is Quilava worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw, ungraded copy runs about $10, while a PSA 10 sits at $128, which works out to roughly 12.9x the raw price. That sounds like a clear win on paper, but gem mint is the key word there. Pulling off a flawless PSA 10 on a card this old is not guaranteed, centering and edge wear from decades of storage can knock it down to a Grade 9, which actually lands at $296 in today's market, so grading outcomes here can swing in surprising directions. Before you send anything in, remember grading has real costs and turnaround time attached, and there is no refund if the card comes back lower than you hoped. If you have a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, it can be worth the gamble, but go in with eyes open.
How rare is Quilava?
Across all grading services combined, there are 890 graded copies of this Quilava on record, and only 190 of those have earned the top PSA 10 grade. That means gem mint copies make up a fairly small slice of the total population, which helps explain why a PSA 10 commands such a premium over a raw card. When a population is this defined, every additional graded copy adds real data to what collectors are willing to pay, and it is part of why tracking this card closely actually matters if you are trying to figure out how much is Quilava worth at any given moment.
Where can you pull Quilava?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we have recorded Quilava being pulled 16 times across live pack sites, specifically mnstr and courtyard. The biggest recorded pull came in at $246, which shows just how much a single sharp copy can swing in value depending on condition and grading. We have also seen it turn up in a handful of specific pack products, including Pack 2, the Pokemon Starter Pack, the Pokemon Master Pack, the Wildcard Basic Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore. That said, it is worth being upfront that opening packs is a gamble no matter which product you choose, most rips do not cover their cost, and if you specifically want a Quilava, buying one directly on the secondary market is often the more predictable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Quilava worth?+
A raw, ungraded Quilava from Neo Genesis typically runs around $10. Once graded, the value jumps quite a bit, with a Grade 9 sitting at $296 and a PSA 10 at $128, so condition and grading really do change the picture here.
Is Quilava worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 12.9x what a raw copy goes for. Just know that gem mint copies are not easy to hit, only 190 out of 890 graded copies have reached PSA 10, so it is a real gamble alongside the cost of grading itself.
Why is the Quilava 1st Edition #46 print worth more than the standard one?+
First Edition Neo Genesis cards were part of an early, smaller print run from 2000, which makes them scarcer than later reprints of the same card. That scarcity, combined with steady collector demand for early Pokemon sets, is why the 1st Edition stamp adds real value on top of the base card.
