Question 1

Is Smeargle worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Smeargle worth grading? Here's the honest picture. A raw, ungraded copy runs about $11, and a PSA 10 comes in at $35, which works out to roughly 3.2 times the raw price. That sounds like a nice jump on paper, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait all eat into that margin fast, especially on a common card where the ceiling isn't sky high to begin with. What's genuinely interesting here is that a Grade 9 is currently valued at $39, actually a touch above the PSA 10 figure, which is a good reminder that grading markets can be quirky and don't always reward perfection the way you'd expect. If you've got a sharp-looking copy already sitting in your collection, sending it in could be worth a shot. If you're buying specifically to grade, go in with your eyes open about the cost versus the payoff.

Question 2

How rare is Smeargle?

Accepted Answer

There are 179 total graded copies of Smeargle on record, and of those, 77 have earned a PSA 10. That's a fairly high slice landing at gem mint, which tells you this card tends to survive well when it's handled carefully, probably because Aquapolis prints held up decently and collectors haven't been rushing to grade a common in huge volume. It's not a scarce card in the traditional sense, but that population gives you a real, grounded sense of how many gem copies actually exist versus how many people talk about wanting one.

Question 3

Where can you pull Smeargle?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across live pack sites rather than just guessing. We've recorded Smeargle pulled 38 times across courtyard, lastpack, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $119. He's turned up in packs like The Amazing Chase Encore, various starter packs, the Pokémon Pro Pack, and the Wildcard Starter Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to that $119 high point, so if you're chasing this specific card, buying a known copy on the secondary market is often the steadier route.

Question 4

How much is Smeargle worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Smeargle #109 from Aquapolis is worth about $11 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $39 and a PSA 10 at $35, so the value really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.

Question 5

Is Smeargle worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, but weigh it carefully. The PSA 10 price of $35 is about 3.2 times the raw price of $11, though grading costs and the chance of not hitting a perfect grade cut into that upside, so it's a better move if you already have a clean copy rather than buying specifically to grade.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Smeargle worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Smeargle currently sits at $35. Out of 179 total graded copies on record, 77 have reached that gem mint PSA 10 grade, so it's an achievable grade for this card but still one worth confirming before you buy or sell.
