Treecko Reverse Holo #79 value & price
Reviewed by Mumbles · Updated 31 Jul 2026Related Treecko & chase cards
Tap to open
Treecko #79 is the little wood gecko everyone remembers as a starter, and this reverse holo version comes from the Arceus set, released back in 2009. It's a common card, illustrated by Kouki Saitou, so it was never meant to be rare, but there's something charming about how these older reverse holos still get searched and collected today. If you're trying to pin down Treecko value, the short answer is that it sits in modest but real territory, with plenty of room to move depending on condition.

The collector's take on Treecko
Is Treecko worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw copy of Treecko runs about $10, while a PSA 10 has sold for $173, which works out to 16.9 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of number that gets people excited about sending cards off to get graded. But slow down for a second. Hitting a PSA 10 on a common from 2009 is not guaranteed just because the card looks clean to your eye, corners and centering get picked apart under a loupe, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into any profit if you land a Grade 9 instead, which is worth $66. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand and you're doing several cards at once to spread the cost, grading Treecko can make sense. If it's just the one card, you might be better off enjoying it raw or ungraded.
How rare is Treecko?
Across every grading company combined, there are only 24 graded copies of this Treecko on record, and of those, just 2 have earned a PSA 10. That's a tight population for a common card, and it tells you that most people who owned this Treecko never bothered sending it in, either because it wasn't in great shape or because a common from Arceus didn't seem worth the fee at the time. That scarcity at the very top, only 2 gem mint copies known, is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers.
Where can you pull Treecko?
We've tracked 27 recorded pulls of this Treecko across pack sites including courtyard, mnstr, and collector-crypt, so it does show up if you're opening the right products. It's turned up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pack 1, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the biggest pull value we've logged for it sits at $105. That figure is a nice reminder that pack odds and market price don't always match up, someone got lucky pulling into a hot moment. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask

Is Treecko worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 16.9 times the raw price of $10. But only 2 out of 24 graded copies have ever hit that PSA 10 mark, so it's not a sure thing, and grading fees are worth weighing against that risk.
What set is Treecko from?+
This Treecko reverse holo comes from the Arceus set, released in 2009. It's a common card illustrated by Kouki Saitou, and it still shows up in various pack products today.
