Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 8 Aug 2026Related Smeargle & chase cards
Tap to open
Smeargle #39 is one of those quietly charming cards from the 2006 Dragon Frontiers set, an uncommon pull illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno that captures the painter Pokémon mid-mess, brush and all. It is not a chase card in the traditional sense, but it has held a steady little place in collections for years, and if you are here checking Smeargle value or wondering what a card like this actually trades for, you are in the right spot. Right now the raw, ungraded version sits at $2, which tells you this is a card people collect more for nostalgia and set completion than speculation.

The collector's take on Smeargle
Is Smeargle worth grading?
So is Smeargle worth grading? Let's be honest about the math first. A PSA 10 runs about 1.4x the raw price, which puts it at $3, only a dollar over what you would pay for the ungraded card. Interestingly, Grade 9 copies are actually fetching more right now, at $14, which is a good reminder that grading markets do not always move the way you would expect and gem mint is not automatically the top payout. Given that grading fees typically run higher than the value bump you are chasing here, this is a card better graded for the love of having a slabbed copy in your binder than for any real profit motive. If you already have a sharp copy sitting around and grading is cheap or bundled with other cards, sure, send it in. Otherwise, save the fee.
How rare is Smeargle?
Across all grading services, only 134 copies of Smeargle have ever been graded, which is a modest number for a card this old. Of those, 50 have come back as PSA 10, meaning gem mint copies actually make up a good chunk of the graded population rather than being a rare feat. That tells you Smeargle is not a hard card to find in top condition when someone bothers to submit it, it is just that not many people do, since the low price tag makes grading a tough sell for most collectors.
Where can you pull Smeargle?
We track real pack pulls across sites, not just price guide estimates, and for Smeargle the data is thin, which says something on its own. We have recorded this card pulled just 1 time across the sites we monitor, that hit coming from collector-crypt with a recorded value of $14, and it turned up in a Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack. That scarcity of recorded pulls lines up with what you would expect from an uncommon card in an older set: it is out there, but you are far more likely to land a Smeargle by buying it directly on the secondary market than by cracking packs hoping to find one. Worth remembering too, opening packs is always a gamble and most rips do not pay off, so chase this one because you like the card, not because you expect a payday.
Questions people ask
How much is Smeargle worth?+
A raw, ungraded Smeargle #39 from Dragon Frontiers is currently valued at $2. It is an uncommon card from 2006, so the price reflects its age and set rather than any real scarcity in circulation.
Is Smeargle worth grading?+
For most collectors, not really from a pure value standpoint. A PSA 10 only brings $3, about 1.4x the raw price, and grading fees usually eat up more than that gap, so it makes more sense to grade this one for the fun of it than for profit.
How much is a PSA 10 Smeargle worth?+
A PSA 10 Smeargle is valued at $3 right now, with 50 of the 134 total graded copies having reached that gem mint grade. Interestingly, Grade 9 copies are currently valued higher at $14, so gem mint is not always where the money is.
