Question 1

Is Rayquaza worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is it worth sending in for grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $6,298, a Grade 9 brings $22,500, and a true PSA 10 tops out at $27,000, which works out to about 4.3 times the raw price. That gap is real money, but gem mint is called gem mint for a reason. Corners, centering, surface, all of it has to line up, and plenty of nice-looking raw cards come back as a 9 instead of a 10. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no refund if the card comes back lower than you hoped, so only send in a copy you have genuinely inspected under good light. If it looks clean to your eye and you are comfortable with the wait, the upside here is strong enough to justify the gamble for a lot of collectors.

Question 2

How rare is Rayquaza?

Accepted Answer

Specific population counts are not something we are putting numbers on here, but the gap between the raw price and the Grade 9 and PSA 10 figures tells its own story. When a card jumps from $6,298 raw to $22,500 at Grade 9 and $27,000 at a clean PSA 10, that is the market telling you pristine copies simply do not show up that often. Clash of the Blue Sky 1st Edition cards were already a limited print run by nature, and Rayquaza as a card pulls extra attention on top of that, so high grades staying scarce is exactly what keeps the Rayquaza price firm over time.

Question 3

Where can you pull Rayquaza?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across live pack sites instead of guessing. So far we have recorded Rayquaza pulled 2 times across packz, with the biggest hit coming in at $27,000. Both sightings came out of the Pokémon Champion Pack and the Pokémon Shiny Pack, so if you are chasing this one in a live break, those are the products where it has actually shown up. Just remember that two recorded pulls is a small sample, and opening packs is still a gamble where most rips do not come close to covering their cost. Most collectors who want a guaranteed copy end up buying on the secondary market instead, and that is a perfectly reasonable way to go.

Question 4

How much is Rayquaza worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded copy of this Clash of the Blue Sky 1st Edition #67 Rayquaza is valued at $6,298. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $22,500 and a PSA 10 reaching $27,000, so condition makes a real difference to the final price.

Question 5

Is Rayquaza worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 4.3 times what a raw copy is worth, jumping from $6,298 to $27,000. The catch is that gem mint grades are genuinely hard to hit, so only submit a copy that looks flawless to you, and go in knowing grading costs money whether or not the card comes back a 10.

Question 6

Why is the Rayquaza 1st Edition #67 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

1st Edition cards were printed in smaller early runs before the main print came out, which makes them naturally scarcer and more desirable to collectors. That extra rarity layered on top of an already popular card like Rayquaza from the Japanese Clash of the Blue Sky set is a big part of why values here sit well above a typical unlimited copy.
