Whimsicott VSTAR is one of the fan-favorite secret rares from Brilliant Stars, the 2022 set that collectors still talk about for its VSTAR lineup, and this one carries the illustration work of 5ban Graphics, whose style gives it that soft, painterly finish. If you're trying to pin down Whimsicott VSTAR value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $6, which makes it an approachable card to own even if you're just starting to build out a Brilliant Stars collection. It's not a chase card in the way some secret rares are, but there's a real, steady market around it that's worth understanding before you buy, sell, or send one off to be graded.

The collector's take on Whimsicott VSTAR
Is Whimsicott VSTAR worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown: a raw Whimsicott VSTAR runs $6, a Grade 9 brings $26, and a PSA 10 tops out at $72, which works out to about 11.5 times the raw price. That's a real jump on paper, but grading isn't free and it isn't fast, so you're weighing that fee and the wait against a card that only clears $72 in the best-case outcome. The population data actually tells you something useful here too: out of 808 graded copies, 440 have come back PSA 10, so this card grades well more often than not. That's good news if you're chasing gem mint, but it also means the top grade isn't rare enough to command a huge premium. If you've got a clean copy already, grading can make sense, but for most raw copies sitting in a binder, it's a break-even bet at best once you factor in costs.
How rare is Whimsicott VSTAR?
With 808 total graded copies on record, Whimsicott VSTAR isn't a card that's flooding population reports, but it's not a phantom either. What stands out is that 440 of those 808 are already PSA 10, meaning well over half of everything submitted comes back gem mint. That tells you the card tends to survive printing and handling in good shape, which keeps the PSA 10 premium reasonable rather than sky-high. For collectors, that's actually a nice thing: you're not fighting impossible odds to land a top grade, but you also shouldn't expect a PSA 10 to be some rare unicorn that spikes in value overnight.
Where can you pull Whimsicott VSTAR?
Across the pack sites PackSpy tracks, we've logged 10 recorded pulls of Whimsicott VSTAR, all coming through collector-crypt, with the biggest hit landing at $72, right in line with PSA 10 territory. It's shown up in Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack openings, so if you're hoping to pull one yourself, those are the places where it's actually surfaced. That said, opening packs is a gamble no matter how you slice it, most rips don't return what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan, and know that plenty of collectors just buy this one directly on the secondary market instead.
Questions people ask
How much is Whimsicott VSTAR worth?+
A raw, ungraded Whimsicott VSTAR is worth $6 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $26 and a PSA 10 reaching $72, so condition makes a real difference in what you can expect to get for it.
Is Whimsicott VSTAR worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 11.5 times the value, going from $6 to $72, but grading costs and turnaround eat into that gain, and with 440 of 808 graded copies already hitting PSA 10, gem mint isn't as rare here as it is on some other cards.
What set is Whimsicott VSTAR from?+
Whimsicott VSTAR #175 comes from Brilliant Stars, released in 2022. It's a secret rare illustrated by 5ban Graphics, which gives it a distinct look compared to the standard VSTAR cards in the same set.
