Tap to open
Salvatore #212 is one of the special illustration rares from Temporal Forces, the 2024 set that gave us some genuinely striking artwork, and this one comes from the brush of Tetsu Kayama. Collectors gravitate toward it for that reason alone, the illustration style has a mood to it that a lot of the standard pulls just don't have. If you're checking the Salvatore value right now, the short answer is that it sits around $19 raw, but there's a lot more to the story once grading enters the picture.

The collector's take on Salvatore
Is Salvatore worth grading?
So is Salvatore worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown. A raw copy runs about $19, while a PSA 10 comes in at $373, which works out to roughly 19.9 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, and on paper it looks tempting. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, corners, centering, and surface all have to line up just right, and plenty of copies that look perfect to the naked eye come back as a 9 instead of a 10. Grade 9 copies here actually land at $425, interestingly higher than the PSA 10 figure of $373, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes and market demand don't always move in a straight line. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're taking on real cost and real risk for a card that isn't a high dollar chase piece to begin with. If you already have a sharp copy sitting in a sleeve, sending it in might make sense. But grading purely to flip a low value card rarely pencils out once fees are factored in.
How rare is Salvatore?
Right now there are 1,023 total graded copies of Salvatore on record, and out of that group, 475 have earned the PSA 10 label. That's actually a fairly generous slice landing at the top grade, which tells you this card isn't brutally hard to get through grading in top condition. It's not the kind of population report that screams extreme scarcity, and that's reflected in the price. Cards with population numbers like this tend to stay accessible for collectors who want a nice copy without a big financial commitment, which honestly makes Salvatore a pretty approachable one to chase for a set collection.
Where can you pull Salvatore?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we record real pulls across pack opening sites rather than relying on guesswork. Salvatore has been pulled 5 times in our records, all from courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $46. It's shown up in Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack, so if you're hoping to rip your way to one, those are the products worth keeping an eye on. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble by nature, most openings don't beat what you'd pay buying the card outright on the secondary market, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask

Is Salvatore worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. The PSA 10 price of $373 is about 19.9 times the raw price of $19, which sounds great, but Grade 9 copies actually sit higher at $425, and grading fees plus the risk of missing gem mint make it a decision worth thinking through rather than rushing into.
How much is a PSA 10 Salvatore worth?+
A PSA 10 Salvatore is valued at $373. With 475 out of 1,023 total graded copies earning that top grade, gem mint isn't rare for this card, which helps explain why the price stays modest.
