Roark #242 comes out of the Paradox Rift set from 2023, an Ultra Rare card illustrated by Ryuta Fuse that a lot of collectors recognize on sight thanks to its clean, focused artwork. If you're digging into Roark value right now, the short version is that it's an affordable card to own raw, but the numbers shift quite a bit once grading enters the picture. It's the kind of card that's fun to track rather than one that'll make headlines, and that's exactly why we keep an eye on it.

The collector's take on Roark
Is Roark worth grading?
So, is Roark worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy sits at $2, a Grade 9 comes in at $13, and a PSA 10 lands at $35, which works out to about 17.5 times the raw price. That jump looks tempting on paper, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time can eat into any profit fast, especially on a card valued this low to begin with. If you've got a Roark that looks sharp with clean edges and centering, sending it in could be a fun experiment, but treat it as a hobby move rather than an investment strategy, because the math only works if the card comes back perfect.
How rare is Roark?
Right now there are 323 graded copies of Roark on record, and 146 of those are PSA 10. That's actually a pretty high share landing in the top grade, which tells you this card isn't especially difficult to pull off cleanly when someone does decide to grade it. It also means the population isn't razor thin, so scarcity alone isn't really what's driving the price here, it's more about overall demand for the card staying modest.
Where can you pull Roark?
This is where our tracking actually adds something a price guide can't give you. PackSpy has recorded Roark being pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, so it's not a rare sight if you're ripping there. That said, the biggest recorded pull value we've logged sits at $0, which is a good honest reminder that most pack openings don't hand you a big win, they're a gamble more often than not. Roark has also been seen showing up in the Pokemon Dime Pack, so if you're chasing this one specifically, that's a spot worth watching, though plenty of collectors just end up picking it up on the secondary market instead.
Questions people ask
How much is Roark worth?+
A raw, ungraded Roark #242 is valued at $2. Grading pushes that up, with a Grade 9 worth $13 and a PSA 10 worth $35, so the price really depends on condition and whether it's been graded at all.
Is Roark worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth roughly 17.5 times the raw price. But gem mint copies aren't a given, and grading costs plus time need to be weighed against a card that starts at just $2 raw, so it's more of a fun bet than a sure thing.
How much is a PSA 10 Roark worth?+
A PSA 10 Roark is currently valued at $35. Out of the 323 total graded copies on record, 146 have reached that top PSA 10 grade, which gives you a sense of how many gem mint copies are actually out there.
