The collector's take on Tatsugiri ex
Is Tatsugiri ex worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw Tatsugiri ex runs about $3, a Grade 9 climbs to $19, and a true PSA 10 sits at $49, which works out to roughly 19.3 times the raw price. That's a real jump, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on modern Ultra Rares like this one, since centering and edge wear from packs and shipping are unforgiving under a loupe. Grading fees and turnaround time eat into that upside fast, so it only makes sense if you've got a copy that looks flawless to your eye before you even submit it, otherwise you're paying to find out you have a Grade 9 or lower.
How rare is it?
We don't have official population figures to lean on here, but the pricing gap between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 tells its own story. When a card jumps from $3 to $49 just by hitting a perfect grade, that tells you gem mint copies are the exception, not the rule, even for a card that isn't especially old. Surging Sparks Ultra Rares like Tatsugiri ex were printed in real volume, so scarcity here is less about the card being rare to find and more about how few copies survive handling in flawless condition.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data earns its keep, since we've tracked Tatsugiri ex being pulled 27 times across sites like courtyard and collector-crypt, with one lucky rip landing at $38. It's shown up in a real mix of pack types too, from the Wildcard Basic Pack and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack to the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack, so it's not locked to one specific product. That said, worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you spent, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
