Question 1

Is Spearow worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's the honest answer on whether Spearow is worth grading: a raw copy is $2, but a PSA 10 sits at $806, and that gap is real, about 340.1x the raw price. That's a big jump for a common card. But gem mint isn't easy to land, this Jungle print has soft edges and centering quirks common to cards from that era, so sending in a stack and hoping for 10s across the board is a gamble in itself. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, so if you've got a raw Spearow sitting in a binder that looks sharp under good light, it might be worth the shot, but go in knowing the odds and the fees before you commit.

Question 2

How rare is Spearow?

Accepted Answer

Across every grading company combined, there are 4,457 graded copies of this Spearow on record, and of those, only 1,064 have hit PSA 10. That's a meaningful chunk landing at the top grade, but it also means most graded copies fall short of gem mint, which is exactly why that PSA 10 price commands such a premium over Grade 9 and raw. Population numbers like these are the real story behind card values, they show you how much competition exists at each grade tier and why gem mint copies get bid up the way they do.

Question 3

Where can you pull Spearow?

Accepted Answer

We've tracked 102 recorded pulls of this Spearow across courtyard, tilt-rips, and collector-crypt, so it does show up if you know where to look. The biggest pull value we've logged sits at $202, which is a nice reminder that even a common card can occasionally surprise you. It's turned up in Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokemon Expert Pack, Pokemon Premium Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, and Wildcard Basic Pack, and that's the kind of cross-site data most price guides simply don't have. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't cover their cost, so if you're chasing this Spearow specifically, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is usually the more predictable route.

Question 4

How much is Spearow worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Spearow from the Jungle set is valued at $2. Once graded, the number changes quite a bit, a Grade 9 sits at $1,219 and a PSA 10 comes in at $806, so grading has a real impact on what this common card is worth.

Question 5

Is Spearow worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the condition of your copy. The PSA 10 price of $806 is about 340.1x the raw price of $2, which is a strong incentive, but with only 1,064 PSA 10s out of 4,457 total graded copies, gem mint isn't a given. Weigh the grading cost and turnaround against how sharp your card actually looks before sending it in.

Question 6

Why is the Spearow 1st Edition #62 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

1st edition cards from the Jungle set carry extra demand because they were only printed for a limited window before the unlimited runs took over, making them a bit rarer by nature. Combined with the low population numbers we see across grading, that scarcity is a big part of why collectors specifically search out the 1st edition print over the standard version.
