The collector's take on Thundurus EX
Is Thundurus EX worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $13, a Grade 9 jumps to $74, and a PSA 10 sits at $1,463, which works out to 117.0x the raw price. That's a real number, not a rounding trick, and it's exactly why so many people ask if Thundurus EX is worth grading. The catch is that gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on cards from this era, centering and edge wear add up over the years, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time are a real cost even if the card comes back lower than a 10. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a light with clean corners, it's worth considering. If it's got soft edges or print lines, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.
How rare is it?
We don't have population figures to lean on here, but Ultra Rares from Roaring Skies were never printed in the volumes you'd see with common holos, and that scarcity tier alone keeps demand steady years later. Every Ultra Rare EX from this generation gets thinner in supply as more copies get graded, played, or simply lost to time, and Thundurus EX is no exception. That slow tightening of supply is a big part of why the gap between raw and PSA 10 value stays wide.
Where to pull it
PackSpy has tracked 8 recorded pulls of Thundurus EX across the sites we monitor, including collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $230. We've also seen it turn up in Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, which gives you a real sense of where this card actually surfaces rather than just guessing. That said, 8 pulls is a small number in the grand scheme, so most collectors looking for this card end up buying it directly on the secondary market rather than hoping to rip it from a pack. Worth remembering too: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid in.

Is Thundurus EX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 117.0x the raw card. But gem mint copies are tough to pull off, and grading costs money and time regardless of the outcome, so it really depends on the condition of your copy going in.
