Starmie — collector's take
Is Starmie worth grading?
So is it worth sending Starmie off to get graded? Here is the honest math: a raw copy sits at $27, but a PSA 10 brings $749, which works out to 27.6x the ungraded price. That is a real jump, no question. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it is hard to hit. Grading costs money regardless of what comes back, and centering, edge wear, or a soft corner you didn't notice can knock you down to a Grade 9, which is still solid at $250, but nowhere near that PSA 10 number. If your copy already looks sharp to your eye under good light, it might be worth the shot. If it has visible wear, you may be better off enjoying it raw or selling as is rather than gambling on the grading fee.
How rare is it?
Across all grading submissions, only 287 copies of this Starmie have been graded, and just 53 of those came back a PSA 10. That means gem mint copies make up a small slice of an already limited population. When you consider how few copies exist at the very top grade, it makes sense why the PSA 10 price sits so far above raw and even above Grade 9. Scarcity at the highest grade is really what drives that premium.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we log real pulls across pack opening sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We have recorded Starmie being pulled 16 times, all across collector-crypt, and it has turned up in both the Water Pack and the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. The biggest pull value we have on record for this card is $95, which is a nice hit for anyone who caught it live. Just keep in mind that pack opening is a gamble by nature, most rips do not beat what you paid, so treat pulls like these as a bonus rather than something to count on.
Questions people ask
How much is Starmie worth?
A raw, ungraded copy of this Starmie Reverse Holo runs about $27. Graded copies are worth quite a bit more, with a Grade 9 at $250 and a PSA 10 reaching $749. So the answer really depends on the condition and whether it has been graded.
Is Starmie worth grading?
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 27.6x what the raw card is worth. But gem mint copies are rare, only 53 out of 287 graded copies have hit that top grade, so there is real risk involved in submitting. If your card looks clean already, grading might pay off, but it is never a guarantee.
What set is Starmie from?
This Starmie Reverse Holo comes from the Delta Species set, released back in 2005. It is card #15, a Rare, illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, and remains a favorite among collectors who love that era of Pokemon design.
