The collector's take on Team Star Grunt
Is Team Star Grunt worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw Team Star Grunt sits at $2, while a PSA 10 comes in at $139, which works out to roughly 55.8 times the ungraded price. That's a meaningful jump on paper, but grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. Interestingly, a Grade 9 here actually fetches $195, higher than the PSA 10 figure, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes and market demand don't always move in the direction you'd expect. If your copy has sharp corners and clean edges, grading can make sense, but go in knowing it's a bet, not a sure thing.
How rare is Team Star Grunt?
Right now there are 649 graded copies of Team Star Grunt on record, and of those, 248 have earned the top PSA 10 grade. That's a fairly high share landing at gem mint, which tells you this card isn't especially difficult to pull off cleanly when a sharp copy comes along. Scarcity here isn't about a tiny population, it's more that the population gives us a real, grounded picture of how the card grades out across the hobby, which is exactly why the grading numbers above matter more than guesswork.
Where can you pull Team Star Grunt?
We've tracked 52 pulls of Team Star Grunt across tilt-rips, and it's shown up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack and the Dime Pack. The biggest recorded pull value from those rips came in at $0, which is a useful, honest data point: this isn't a card that's making anyone rich straight out of a pack, and it's a fair reminder that pack opening is a gamble where most rips don't turn a profit. If you're chasing this one specifically, your odds may be better shopping the secondary market directly rather than hoping for it to land in a rip, but our pull data is exactly why PackSpy exists, we're recording what actually comes out of packs across sites, not just what price guides say should be there.
Questions people ask
How much is Team Star Grunt worth?+
A raw, ungraded Team Star Grunt is worth $2 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $195 and a PSA 10 at $139, so the value really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Team Star Grunt worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at about 55.8 times the raw price of $2. Just know that grading costs money upfront and gem mint isn't guaranteed, so it's worth it mainly if your copy is already in sharp, clean condition.
How much is a PSA 10 Team Star Grunt worth?+
A PSA 10 Team Star Grunt is valued at $139. Of the 649 total graded copies on record, 248 have hit that PSA 10 gem mint grade, so it's an achievable but far from guaranteed outcome.
