The collector's take on Team Rocket's Giovanni
Is Team Rocket's Giovanni worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Team Rocket's Giovanni sits around $6, but a PSA 10 has been fetching $1,093, which works out to roughly 196.9 times the raw price. That's a huge jump, and a Grade 9 still lands at a solid $657, so even missing gem mint by one point isn't a disaster. The catch is that grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10, centering, edges and surface all have to cooperate. If your card looks sharp under a loupe and you don't mind the wait, grading can make sense here. If it's got soft corners or a hint of whitening, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is rather than gambling on the grade.
How rare is Team Rocket's Giovanni?
Across all grading companies, 2,251 copies of Team Rocket's Giovanni have been graded so far, and 1,317 of those came back as PSA 10. That's a notably high gem rate for an Ultra Rare, which tells you the card tends to come out of packs in good shape, but it also means the population of top graded copies is meaningful rather than razor thin. What keeps the PSA 10 price high isn't scarcity alone, it's demand meeting a population that, while not tiny, still represents a card collectors specifically want at the top grade.
Where can you pull Team Rocket's Giovanni?
PackSpy has tracked this exact card being pulled 3 times across the sites we monitor, including lastpack and other packs, with the biggest recorded pull value coming in at $7. We've also logged it showing up in rookie and Indigo League Challenge packs specifically. Three recorded pulls isn't a lot, and that tells its own story, this is a card most collectors end up buying on the secondary market rather than ripping themselves. Worth remembering too that opening packs is a gamble in general, most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so if you're chasing this one, go in with your eyes open.
