Venonat has always been one of those quietly charming Pokemon, the fuzzy little bug that never got much attention until you actually pull one and remember how good the old Topsun artwork looks in hand. This Blue Back #48 comes from the Japanese Topsun set released in 2023, a common card illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, and if you are searching Venonat value right now, the short answer is that raw copies sit around $10. It is not a card that will change your life, but it is a fun, affordable piece of that Topsun run that a lot of collectors like to have in a binder.

The collector's take on Venonat
Is Venonat worth grading?
So is Venonat worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy is worth $10, a Grade 9 climbs to $73, and a PSA 10 sits at $886, which works out to about 88.7 times the raw price. That is a real jump, no question, but gem mint on these older Topsun commons is genuinely tough to land because print quality and centering from that era were not exactly precise. Grading fees, turnaround time, and the very real chance your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10 all need to factor into your decision. If you already own a sharp, clean copy with good corners and centering, sending it in could pay off. If it has any wear, you are probably better off enjoying it raw or on the secondary market rather than gambling grading fees on it.
How rare is Venonat?
As a common card, Venonat was never meant to be scarce, and that is reflected in the modest raw price. The real scarcity shows up at the top end: pulling a copy sharp enough to earn a PSA 10 is a different challenge entirely, since older Topsun cardstock and printing were not built with modern grading standards in mind. That gap between how common the card is and how rare a truly gem mint copy is explains why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw value. Scarcity here is not about the card being hard to find, it is about finding one that survived in perfect shape.
Where can you pull Venonat?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We have recorded Venonat pulled 100 times across tilt-rips, mnstr, courtyard, and collector-crypt, with a biggest recorded pull value of $200. It has turned up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pack 2, Pokémon Starter Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. It is worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not beat what you paid, so treat any Venonat pull as a nice bonus rather than an expectation.
Questions people ask
How much is Venonat worth?+
A raw, ungraded Venonat Blue Back #48 from the Japanese Topsun set is worth around $10. Graded copies are worth quite a bit more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $73 and a PSA 10 reaching $886.
Is Venonat worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 88.7 times the raw price. But gem mint copies of this older Topsun common are hard to hit, so only send in copies that already look sharp, and factor in grading costs before you decide.
How much is a PSA 10 Venonat worth?+
A PSA 10 Venonat is valued at $886, a big step up from the $10 raw price and the $73 Grade 9 price. That gap shows just how much condition matters for this card.
