Ultra Ball is that clean, simple Trainer card from Brilliant Stars that a lot of collectors end up chasing without even meaning to, since it shows up so often in binders and want lists alike. At #186, it is not the flashiest card in the set, but the numbers behind it tell a real story: a raw copy sits at $16, while the graded versions climb a lot higher. If you searched Ultra Ball value or Ultra Ball price to see where things stand, you are in the right spot.

The collector's take on Ultra Ball

Is Ultra Ball worth grading?

Here is the honest math on grading Ultra Ball: a raw copy is worth $16, but a PSA 10 comes in at $371, and PackSpy's numbers put that jump at roughly 22.5x the raw price. A Grade 9 lands at $436, which shows just how much the market rewards a clean, well centered copy even without a perfect grade. The catch is that gem mint is never guaranteed. Grading costs money and takes time, and you are sending in a card without knowing what it will come back as. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe, with clean edges and centering, it is worth considering. If it has any soft corners or print lines, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it ungraded rather than gambling on the grade.

How rare is Ultra Ball?

Across every submission PackSpy has on record, there are 1,278 graded copies of Ultra Ball, and 502 of those landed a PSA 10. That is a fairly healthy slice of gem mint copies compared to the total population, which tells you Ultra Ball is not an impossible card to grade well, but it is far from a guaranteed pull either. That balance of population and value is exactly why the price sits where it does. Enough copies exist to keep the market steady, but not so many that a PSA 10 loses its appeal to collectors building out a Brilliant Stars set.

Where can you pull Ultra Ball?

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we do not just quote a price guide, we watch real pack sites pull real cards. Ultra Ball has been pulled 200 or more times across sites like tilt-rips and courtyard, and the biggest recorded pull value we have logged for it sits at $21. We have also seen it show up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Novice Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokemon Mini Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is Ultra Ball worth?+

A raw, ungraded Ultra Ball is currently valued at $16. Graded copies are worth a lot more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $436 and a PSA 10 at $371, so condition makes a real difference here.

Is Ultra Ball worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 22.5x the raw price according to PackSpy's tracking. But with 1,278 total graded copies and only 502 reaching PSA 10, gem mint is not a sure thing, so it is worth weighing the grading cost against how sharp your copy actually looks first.

How much is a PSA 10 Ultra Ball worth?+

A PSA 10 Ultra Ball is valued at $371. That is a big step up from the $16 raw price, which is why so many collectors consider sending a clean copy in for grading.
