Smeargle is one of those cards that makes you smile the moment you see it, a common from the 1999 Promo set with artwork by Tomokazu Komiya that has genuine charm despite its humble rarity tier. It's not a card that turns heads for scarcity alone, but its age and its place in early Pokemon history keep collectors curious about Smeargle value, and rightly so. Right now a raw copy sits at $15, a modest number that hides a much bigger story once you start talking about graded copies.

The collector's take on Smeargle

Is Smeargle worth grading?

So is it worth grading? Here's the honest answer: a PSA 10 comes in at $262, which works out to about 17.5 times the raw price of $15, and that kind of jump is exactly why people send cards off in the first place. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on an older Promo card like this one, corners and centering don't forgive mistakes made decades ago, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time all eat into your margin before you even see a result. Interestingly, a Grade 9 copy here actually commands $598, more than the PSA 10 figure, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes and market demand don't always move in the direction you'd expect. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand, grading can pay off, but go in knowing it's a bet, not a guarantee.

How rare is it?

Across every submission on record, only 1,159 copies of Smeargle have been graded at all, and of those, 262 have earned the top PSA 10 designation. That's a meaningful chunk of the graded population sitting at gem mint, which tells you this card, while common in the pack, isn't common in perfect condition once decades pass and handling takes its toll. Scarcity at the top end is part of why the PSA 10 and Grade 9 prices sit so far above the raw number, even on a card that was never rare to begin with.

Where to pull it

We've tracked 22 recorded pulls of Smeargle across courtyard, collector-crypt, and lastpack, the kind of real, cross-site data that a standard price guide simply doesn't have. The biggest pull value we've logged came in at $117, a nice reminder that even a common card can occasionally deliver a fun moment when it lands in good condition. Smeargle has turned up in packs like the Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and rookie, so if you're chasing one yourself, those are the names to keep an eye on. Just remember that pack opening is ultimately a gamble, most rips don't cover their cost, and Smeargle is more often picked up on the secondary market by collectors who know exactly what they want.

Questions people ask

How much is Smeargle worth?+

A raw, ungraded Smeargle currently sits at $15. Graded copies climb well beyond that, with a PSA 10 at $262 and a Grade 9 at $598, so condition and grading status make a real difference to what this card is worth.

Is Smeargle worth grading?+

It can be. The PSA 10 price of $262 works out to roughly 17.5 times the raw price of $15, which is a solid jump, but gem mint copies are genuinely tough to pull off on an older Promo card. Weigh the grading cost and the wait against the realistic chance your copy grades that high before you send it in.

What set is Smeargle from?+

Smeargle #32 comes from the Promo set, released back in 1999. It's a common card illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya, and its age is a big part of why collectors still ask about it today.
