The collector's take on Team Rocket's Zapdos

Is Team Rocket's Zapdos worth grading?

So is it worth sending this one off to get graded? Here is the honest breakdown. A raw, ungraded copy of Team Rocket's Zapdos runs about $2, and PSA has it valued at 5.7x that once it comes back a PSA 10, gem mint condition. A Grade 9 currently sits at $41, which is actually higher than the $9 PSA 10 figure in the market right now, a reminder that grading value does not always move in a straight line and can shift depending on demand at any given moment. Given that grading fees, shipping and the waiting game all add up, and that population data shows only 45 out of 159 graded copies have hit that PSA 10 gem mint bar, I would not grade a stack of these hoping to get rich. If you happen to pull one that looks flawless under a loupe, it might be worth the gamble for the fun of it, but go in with your eyes open.

How rare is Team Rocket's Zapdos?

Right now there are 159 graded copies of Team Rocket's Zapdos on record, and of those, only 45 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That is a meaningful chunk, close to a third, which tells you gem mint condition is achievable but far from guaranteed on this card. It is not an ultra scarce chase in the way some secret rares are, but the population numbers do show that pristine copies take some doing to land, which helps explain why PSA 10 and Grade 9 prices sit meaningfully above the raw price.

Where can you pull Team Rocket's Zapdos?

This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack opening sites rather than just guessing at odds. Team Rocket's Zapdos has been pulled 73 times across tilt-rips, courtyard and collector-crypt, so it does show up with some regularity if you are ripping packs on those platforms. The biggest recorded pull for this card came in at $198, a nice reminder that even a $2 raw card can land in a pack that pays off well beyond its usual price. It has turned up in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Ultra Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokémon Master Pack and Pokémon Pro Pack, so those are the products to watch if you want a shot at pulling it yourself. Worth saying plainly, opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not beat what you paid in, so treat any pull like this as a bonus, not a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is Team Rocket's Zapdos worth?+

A raw, ungraded Team Rocket's Zapdos is valued at $2 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $41 and a PSA 10 at $9, so condition and grading status make a real difference to what you can expect to get for it.

Is Team Rocket's Zapdos worth grading?+

It depends on what you are hoping to get out of it. PSA 10 copies are valued at 5.7x the raw price, but only 45 of the 159 graded copies on record have hit that gem mint grade, so it is far from a sure thing once you factor in grading costs and the wait.

How much is a PSA 10 Team Rocket's Zapdos worth?+

A PSA 10 Team Rocket's Zapdos currently sits at $9 in the market, which reflects that gem mint premium collectors chase, though as always with a low population of top grades, prices here can move as more copies get submitted.
