Reshiram is one of those dragon-type legends that just looks good sitting in a binder, and the 1st Edition #8 print from the Japanese Thunder Knuckle set is the version collectors specifically hunt down when they start asking about Reshiram value. It's not a flashy chase card with a massive price tag, but it carries that 1st edition weight that makes long-time collectors pay attention. Right now a raw copy sits at $4, while a PSA 10 trades at $51, so there's real room to make a decision here depending on what you're chasing.

The collector's take on Reshiram

Is Reshiram worth grading?

So is Reshiram worth grading? Let's talk numbers first: a PSA 10 sells for 11.7x what a raw copy goes for, jumping from $4 ungraded to $51 in gem mint. A Grade 9 sits in between at $20, which is a fair outcome if your copy has a small edge wear or centering issue that keeps it out of the top slot. The honest part: grading costs money and takes time, and you won't know your grade until it comes back, so you're taking on some risk no matter how clean the card looks to your eye. Given the population data below, hitting a PSA 10 isn't a long shot exactly, but it's also not guaranteed, so weigh the grading fee against a $4 raw price before you send it in.

How rare is Reshiram?

Across all grading companies combined, only 103 copies of this card have ever been graded, and 59 of those came back PSA 10. That's a genuinely small population for a card that's been around long enough to build a following, and it tells you two things: not many people are bothering to grade this one, and when they do, gem mint is achievable more often than not. That combination keeps the PSA 10 price from spiking too far, but it also means finding a graded copy at all, especially outside PSA 10, isn't something you'll do every day.

Where can you pull Reshiram?

This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because we don't just guess at rarity, we record real pulls across real pack sites. Reshiram has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard, packs, and lastpack, so it's not a card you'll never see come out of a pack. The biggest recorded pull came in at $711, and if you're opening packs hoping to land it, keep an eye on Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Rookie Pack, Novice Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Pokemon Mini Pack, all places we've seen it show up. Just remember that pack opening is a gamble by nature, and most rips don't come back the value you paid in, so treat this as entertainment first and a potential bonus second.

Questions people ask

How much is Reshiram worth?+

A raw, ungraded copy of Reshiram 1st Edition #8 is valued at $4. Once graded, a Grade 9 brings $20 and a PSA 10 tops out at $51, which is 11.7 times the raw price.

Is Reshiram worth grading?+

It can be, especially since 59 of the 103 graded copies came back PSA 10, showing gem mint is genuinely reachable. Just factor in the grading fee against a $4 raw value and decide if the jump to $51 makes sense for your copy's condition.

Why is the Reshiram 1st Edition #8 print worth more than the standard one?+

1st edition prints are generally produced in smaller numbers and marked distinctly, which makes them more desirable to collectors chasing early print runs. That extra demand, combined with the card's overall low graded population of 103 copies, is what keeps this version commanding more attention than a standard print.
