The collector's take on Thundurus EX
Is Thundurus EX worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Right now a raw, ungraded Thundurus EX sits at $3, a Grade 9 climbs to $20, and a true PSA 10 sits at $175, which works out to about 70.0x the raw price. That is a big multiple on paper, and it is easy to get excited about it. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: centering, edge wear and surface flaws on a card like this can knock it down to a 9 fast, and grading fees, shipping and the wait all eat into any profit if it does not come back perfect. If you already own a copy that looks sharp in hand, sending it in can make sense. If you are buying raw copies specifically hoping to hit a 10, treat it like a bet, not a sure thing.
How rare is Thundurus EX?
We do not have a full population count to share here, but the Ultra Rare status alone tells you this was never meant to be common in the first place. Roaring Skies was a smaller set to begin with, and Ultra Rares within it were printed at a lower rate than the standard commons and uncommons that filled most packs. That built in scarcity is part of why a PSA 10 commands $175 while a raw copy sits at $3, the gap reflects how few copies survive the trip from pack to top grade without a mark or scuff along the way.
Where can you pull Thundurus EX?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack opening sites instead of just guessing. We have recorded Thundurus EX pulled 7 times so far, showing up on courtyard and collector-crypt, and the biggest recorded pull came in at $230. Collectors have found it inside the Pokemon Starter Pack and the Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, so if you are opening packs hoping to land one, those are the products where it has actually shown up in our data. Just remember that pack opening is gambling by nature, most rips do not beat what you paid, and Thundurus EX is a nice card to hit rather than something to count on.

Is Thundurus EX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 70.0x the raw price. But gem mint copies are hard to pull off, and grading costs and time add real risk, so it is worth it mainly if your copy already looks clean and sharp.
What set is Thundurus EX from?+
Thundurus EX is card #26 from Roaring Skies, released in 2015. It carries Ultra Rare status and was illustrated by Eske Yoshinob.
