Spinarak #111 value & price

Tap to open
Spinarak is the little bug Pokemon that a lot of players skipped over back in 2003, but it's earned a soft spot in the Aquapolis set thanks to Miki Tanaka's artwork and its status as a Common that's held up surprisingly well. If you're checking Spinarak value today, the short answer is that it sits around $3 raw, which feels modest until you see what a clean graded copy can bring. It's not a chase card by any means, but it's the kind of piece that quietly rewards patient collectors.

The collector's take on Spinarak
Is Spinarak worth grading?
So is Spinarak worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $3, while a PSA 10 sells for $34, which works out to roughly 12.2 times the raw price. That sounds tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a 2003 Common like this, centering and edge wear from old print runs trip up a lot of submissions. Once you factor in grading fees and the real chance you get back a Grade 9 instead of a 10, the math gets tighter. A Grade 9 still fetches $30, which is close enough to the PSA 10 price that grading only really makes sense if you're already sitting on a copy that looks sharp in hand, not one you're hoping turns out well.
How rare is Spinarak?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 192 graded copies of Spinarak on record, and 69 of those have earned the PSA 10 label. That's a fairly high percentage of gem mints for a card this old, which tells you Spinarak wasn't a nightmare to pull in top shape, but it also means the population isn't razor thin. The scarcity here isn't dramatic, it's more that most Spinaraks in the wild are raw and ungraded, sitting in binders rather than slabs, which keeps the graded market small and the prices grounded rather than wild.
Where can you pull Spinarak?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We've recorded Spinarak pulled 10 times across courtyard, mnstr, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $114. It's shown up in packs like the Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Pack 1, Pack 5, and Pokemon Pro Pack. Worth remembering that opening packs is gambling by nature and most rips don't beat what you paid, but if you're chasing Spinarak specifically, those are the pack names where our tracker has actually caught it landing.
Questions people ask
How much is Spinarak worth?+
A raw, ungraded Spinarak from Aquapolis is worth about $3. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $30 and a PSA 10 at $34, so condition makes a real difference on this one.
Is Spinarak worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 12.2x, which looks good on paper, but gem mint is tough to land and a Grade 9 only brings $30 anyway, so grading pays off mainly when you're confident the card is already near perfect.
How much is a PSA 10 Spinarak worth?+
A PSA 10 Spinarak is valued at $34. Out of 192 total graded copies on record, 69 have reached that PSA 10 grade, so it's achievable but far from guaranteed.
