Slowbro 1999-2000 #43 value & price

Tap to open
Slowbro is one of those Fossil-era cards that quietly makes long-time collectors smile, that dopey grin and the tail-in-mouth artwork from Kagemaru Himeno just has personality. It came out in 1999 as an Uncommon in the Fossil set, so it was never chased like the rares, but plenty of people building out that set still want a clean copy. If you're checking Slowbro value right now, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $61, and that's a fair jumping-off point before we get into grading and pull odds.

The collector's take on Slowbro
Is Slowbro worth grading?
So is Slowbro worth grading? A PSA 10 comes in at $238 against a raw price of $61, which works out to about 3.9 times the ungraded value, and a Grade 9 lands at $83. That's a real gap, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card this old, Fossil printing wasn't exactly known for perfect centering, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time eat into any profit if you land a 9 instead of a 10. If you've already got a copy sitting in a binder that looks sharp under a light, sending it in can make sense. If you're buying one specifically to grade and flip, treat it like a gamble, not a plan.
How rare is Slowbro?
Across every grading company combined, only 8 copies of this card have been graded, period. That's a tiny number for a card this old, and it tells you most Slowbros from 1999-2000 either got played with, tossed in shoeboxes, or never saw a grader in the first place. When the population of high-grade copies is this small, a genuine PSA 10 becomes something of an event rather than a routine pull, and that scarcity is a big part of why the price jumps the way it does between raw and graded.
Where can you pull Slowbro?
PackSpy has tracked this card being pulled 1 time across the pack sites we monitor, coming out of a pack labeled trainer, with the biggest recorded pull value sitting at $13. That single data point tells its own story, Slowbro just isn't a card that shows up often in modern pack breaks, since it's tied to a set that's over two decades old now. Realistically, most people looking to add this one to their collection are going to find it through singles sellers and the secondary market rather than hoping for a lucky rip, and that's worth knowing before you spend money chasing it in packs.
Questions people ask
How much is Slowbro worth?+
A raw, ungraded Slowbro from the 1999-2000 Fossil set is valued at $61. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $83 and a PSA 10 at $238, so condition makes a real difference on this one.
Is Slowbro worth grading?+
It depends on the copy you have. A PSA 10 is worth roughly 3.9 times the raw price, which is a nice jump, but with only 8 copies graded across all grades, gem mint is clearly tough to land. Grade the card if it already looks pack fresh, not as a gamble on a rough copy.
How much is a PSA 10 Slowbro worth?+
A PSA 10 Slowbro is valued at $238, compared to $61 raw and $83 for a Grade 9. That top grade is rare too, with only 8 total copies graded across the board, so a true gem mint is genuinely hard to come by.
