Tap to open
Rockruff #86 is one of the sweeter little pulls from the Japanese VMAX Climax set, released back in 2021, with artwork from Yuu Nishida that gives this common card a lot more charm than its rarity might suggest. It's not a chase card by any stretch, but if you're searching for Rockruff value, you're likely holding one right now and wondering what it's actually worth. The short answer: not much in dollars, but there's more to the story than that.

The collector's take on Rockruff
Is Rockruff worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown on Rockruff price and grading: a raw copy sits around $2, a Grade 9 bumps that up to $15, and a PSA 10 comes in at $45, which works out to about 22.9x the raw value. That multiplier looks exciting on paper, but grading fees alone can easily cost more than the card itself, so for a common like this one, sending it in rarely makes financial sense unless you're doing it for the love of a clean gem mint copy in your collection rather than the payout. If you've got a sharp corner, centered copy of Rockruff sitting in a binder, it's worth asking whether you want it graded for pride or profit, because right now the math favors pride.
How rare is Rockruff?
The population numbers here are tiny: just 1 graded copy of Rockruff exists in total, and that single copy happens to be a PSA 10. That's an unusually small sample for any card, and it tells you almost nobody has bothered sending this one in for grading rather than that the card itself is hard to find. Because there's essentially no competition among graded copies, that one PSA 10 currently sets the entire ceiling for what a gem mint Rockruff can fetch.
Where can you pull Rockruff?
We track real pack pulls across sites here at PackSpy, and so far Rockruff hasn't shown up in any of our recorded openings. That doesn't mean it's impossible to pull, commons from VMAX Climax do turn up in boxes, but it does mean this isn't a card people are shouting about when they rip packs online. If you're after one specifically, your more reliable route right now is the secondary market rather than hoping for a lucky pull, and it's a good reminder that opening packs is a gamble where most rips don't cover their cost, even when the set itself is popular.
Questions people ask
How much is Rockruff worth?+
A raw, ungraded Rockruff #86 from VMAX Climax is worth around $2. It's a common card, so that low price reflects how many were printed rather than any lack of charm in the artwork.
Is Rockruff worth grading?+
Financially, probably not. The jump from $2 raw to $45 for a PSA 10 sounds tempting, but grading costs typically eat into or exceed that gain for a common card, so it's really a decision based on wanting a protected, gem mint copy rather than chasing profit.
How much is a PSA 10 Rockruff worth?+
A PSA 10 Rockruff is valued at $45, which is 22.9 times the raw price. With only 1 graded copy in existence and that copy being the PSA 10, there's currently no other graded example to compare it against.
