Slugma #74 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Slugma & chase cards
Tap to open
Slugma is one of those cards that feels a lot bigger than its 'Common' label suggests, mostly because of where it comes from. This little lava slug showed up in the World Championship 2005 set, a release that collectors chase for its history as much as its cards, and Aya Kusube's artwork gives it a warm, glowing charm that fits the character perfectly. If you are here checking Slugma value, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $9, which is a fair reflection of a common from a set people collect more for nostalgia than chase value.

The collector's take on Slugma
Is Slugma worth grading?
So is it worth sending Slugma off to get graded? Honestly, right now that is a tough call to make with confidence. We have the raw/ungraded price at $9, but there is no recorded Grade 9 or PSA 10 value yet, which means we simply do not know what a gem mint copy is fetching in this specific card. Grading costs money and takes time no matter what you send in, and a common from a 2005 set needs to hit a real price gap to make that worthwhile. Unless you already love the card and want a graded copy for your own collection, it might be smarter to hold off until PSA 10 and Grade 9 data actually exists to compare against.
How rare is Slugma?
We do not have population figures for Slugma in hand, so we cannot say exactly how many graded copies exist at each grade. What we do know is that World Championship sets were limited distribution releases from the start, given to tournament participants rather than sold widely at retail. That alone puts a natural ceiling on how many raw copies were ever in circulation, even for a common like this one. Scarcity in a set like this comes less from pack odds and more from the fact that far fewer people ever had access to it in the first place.
Where can you pull Slugma?
This is where PackSpy's tracking really earns its keep. We record real pulls across online pack sites, and as of now, Slugma has not shown up in any tracked opening. That tells you something useful on its own: this is not a card floating around modern pack breaks or spinning up on live sites. If you want a copy of Slugma, your realistic path is the secondary market, buying from sellers or auctions who already hold copies of this 2005 release, rather than hoping to pull it from a pack. And it is worth saying plainly, opening packs in general is a gamble where most rips do not pay off, so buying direct is often the more sensible route for a specific card like this one.
Questions people ask
How much is Slugma worth?+
Right now, a raw or ungraded copy of Slugma is valued at $9. There is no recorded price yet for Grade 9 or PSA 10 copies, so graded value is currently unknown for this card.
Is Slugma worth grading?+
It is hard to say definitively since we do not yet have PSA 10 or Grade 9 pricing to compare against the $9 raw value. Grading costs real money regardless of outcome, so it usually makes more sense to wait for that graded data before sending a common card like this one in.
What set is Slugma from?+
Slugma #74 comes from the World Championship 2005 set, released in 2005. It is a common card illustrated by Aya Kusube, part of a limited distribution release tied to that year's tournament.
