Snivy #87 comes from the Japanese Black Bolt set, and it's one of those cards that collectors gravitate toward simply because Snivy is such a likeable little starter. Right now the Snivy value sits at $14 raw, which puts it in that approachable price range where you can grab one without much thought, but still watch it climb nicely if you send it off for grading. It's not a card that's going to make headlines, but for anyone building out a Black Bolt collection or just a fan of the Grass-type starter line, it's a satisfying one to own.

The collector's take on Snivy

Is Snivy worth grading?

So is Snivy worth grading? A raw copy sits at $14, and a PSA 10 brings that up to $67, which works out to about 5.0 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's easy to see why people get tempted to grade every copy they pull. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: hitting a clean PSA 10 means no whitening on the edges, no print lines, and centering that holds up under a loupe, and plenty of copies that look perfect to the eye come back as a Grade 9 instead, worth $25. Grading isn't free either, and once you factor in fees and the wait time, it only really makes sense if your raw copy looks genuinely sharp. If it's got any soft corners or off centering, it's often smarter to just enjoy it raw or sell it as is.

How rare is Snivy?

We don't have official population numbers to point to for Snivy #87, so it's hard to say exactly how many gem mint copies exist out there. What we can say is that Black Bolt is a set collectors are actively chasing, and common starter cards like Snivy tend to get pulled and opened in volume, which means raw copies stay fairly easy to find. The real scarcity shows up at the top end: pristine, PSA 10 quality copies are always the minority of what gets graded, no matter the print run, and that's exactly why the price gap between raw and PSA 10 exists in the first place.

Where can you pull Snivy?

This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, because no price guide tracks this kind of thing. We've recorded 53 pulls of Snivy #87 across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, so it's clearly a card that shows up with some regularity for people ripping packs online. It's turned up in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, which tells you it's more of a filler hit in cheaper, high volume packs rather than a chase card in premium boxes. The biggest recorded pull value we've seen for it was $37, which is a nice outcome if you land a well graded copy, but worth remembering that opening packs is still gambling and most rips don't come out ahead.

Questions people ask

How much is Snivy worth?+

A raw, ungraded Snivy #87 from Black Bolt is currently valued at $14. That's the baseline most collectors go by before deciding whether grading makes sense for their copy.

Is Snivy worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth $67, which is about 5.0 times the raw value. Just know that gem mint copies are the exception rather than the rule, and grading costs money regardless of the result, so it's worth it mainly if your card already looks close to flawless.

How much is a PSA 10 Snivy worth?+

A PSA 10 Snivy #87 is valued at $67, compared to $25 for a Grade 9 and $14 raw. That gap is the reward for pulling or finding a truly clean copy, but reaching gem mint status isn't guaranteed.
