Tap to open
Raticate might not be the headline card of the Base Set, but this Ken Sugimori illustrated Uncommon has a quiet charm that keeps collectors coming back to it. It's card #40 from the original 1999 Base Set, and because it carries the 1st Edition stamp, it holds a little more weight than the standard print. If you're searching for Raticate value or trying to figure out how much Raticate is worth, the short version is that a raw copy trades around $20, while a well preserved graded example can climb much higher from there.

The collector's take on Raticate
Is Raticate worth grading?
Grading is where the Raticate story gets interesting. A raw, ungraded copy sits at $20, but a PSA 10 gem mint jumps all the way to $385, which works out to about 19.3 times the raw price. Grade 9 copies are currently trading even higher at $939, a good reminder that grading markets don't always move in a straight line, so it pays to check current values before you send a card in. Hitting a true gem mint is never guaranteed, submission fees add up, and there's real risk that a card comes back lower than you hoped. If your copy already looks sharp with clean corners and centering, grading can make sense, but go in with realistic expectations rather than assuming a big payout.
How rare is Raticate?
Across all grading services, there are 2,607 graded copies of Raticate on record, and of those, 411 have earned the perfect PSA 10 label. That's a fair number of gem mint copies out there, but when you consider how many Base Set cards were opened and handled over the past two decades, surviving in top condition is still no small feat. The population numbers help explain why PSA 10 copies command such a premium over raw ones, scarcity at the top end of the grading scale tends to hold value steady even when overall supply looks healthy.
Where can you pull Raticate?
PackSpy has tracked 97 recorded pulls of Raticate across collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, and mnstr, so it does show up in the wild, just not constantly. The biggest pull we've logged came in at $663, which shows there's real upside when a nice copy lands. It's turned up in packs like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack. That said, opening packs for a specific card is always a gamble, most rips don't cover their cost, so treat pulling Raticate as a nice surprise rather than a plan, and keep the secondary market in mind if you want one for sure.
Questions people ask
How much is Raticate worth?+
A raw, ungraded Raticate 1st Edition #40 from Base Set is valued around $20. Graded copies are worth considerably more, with a PSA 10 sitting at $385 and a Grade 9 currently at $939, so condition and certification make a real difference here.
Is Raticate worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sells for about 19.3 times the raw price. But grading costs money and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, so it's worth honestly assessing the card's condition first before submitting.
Why is the Raticate 1st Edition #40 print worth more than the standard one?+
The 1st Edition stamp marks it as part of the earliest print run of the Base Set from 1999, which collectors have always valued more highly than later reprints. Combined with its Uncommon rarity and Ken Sugimori artwork, that early print status is a big part of why this version commands a stronger price.
