The collector's take on Relicanth
Is Relicanth worth grading?
So is Relicanth worth grading? Here's the honest answer: a PSA 10 sits at $92 while raw copies go for $10, so you're looking at roughly 9.0 times the value if you land that gem mint grade. That sounds great on paper, but a Grade 9 only brings $17, and the jump between a 9 and a perfect 10 is where most submissions actually land. Grading isn't free, and you're paying that fee whether the card comes back a 10 or a 9, so it only really makes sense if you've inspected the corners, edges and centering closely and genuinely think it's got a shot at gem mint. If you're not sure, it can be smarter to just enjoy the raw copy or sell it ungraded.
How rare is Relicanth?
Out of everything graded so far, Relicanth sits at a population of 1,041 copies total, and of those, 496 have come back as PSA 10. That's actually a pretty healthy chunk making it to the top grade, which helps explain why the PSA 10 price isn't astronomically higher than the raw or Grade 9 numbers. It's not an ultra-scarce chase card in high grade, but the population data still matters if you're trying to figure out how much is Relicanth worth to you personally, whether you're collecting for the art or thinking about resale down the line.
Where can you pull Relicanth?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. We've recorded Relicanth being pulled 58 times across sites like tilt-rips, collector-crypt, packs, and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $14. It's turned up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Catch 'em All - Temporal Forces, rookie, and Dime Pack, so if you're chasing this one specifically, those are the products where it's actually been showing up. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't beat what you'd pay buying the card outright, so go in with your eyes open.
