Yamato is one of those alternate art pulls that makes you stop scrolling, the kind of card that captures her wild energy from the anime in a way the regular version just cannot. This particular version, OP16-079 from the Japanese The Time of Battle set, sits in that sweet spot of being genuinely hard to find and genuinely wanted, which is exactly why so many people land here searching for Yamato value in the first place. Raw copies currently sit at $80, and that number alone tells you collectors are paying attention.

The collector's take on Yamato OP16-079
Is Yamato OP16-079 worth grading?
Here is where I want to be straight with you: the raw price for Yamato is $80, but we do not have solid Grade 9 or PSA 10 sale numbers yet, since this card simply has not moved through the grading pipeline enough to establish a clear market at those tiers. What we do know from the population report is interesting though, almost all graded copies have come back as PSA 10, which suggests this print run holds up well under a grader's loupe. That said, grading still costs money and takes time, and you are sending off a card without a guarantee, so if you are asking whether Yamato is worth grading, my honest take is this: if your copy looks clean under a light with no whitening on the edges or print lines through the art, the odds seem to be in your favor here, but always weigh the grading fee against what you could pocket raw before you commit.
How rare is Yamato OP16-079?
Only 32 copies of this card have been graded, and of those, 31 came back PSA 10. That is a remarkably tight population for any card, let alone an alternate art, and it means that a non-gem grade is almost an outlier here rather than the norm. For collectors, that kind of scarcity usually works two ways: it makes the raw copies feel more special to hold onto, and it makes the graded population report a genuinely useful signal of just how rare a top condition Yamato actually is.
Where can you pull Yamato OP16-079?
This is where PackSpy's tracking earns its keep, because price guides cannot tell you where a card actually shows up in the wild. We have recorded Yamato pulled 67 times across sites including courtyard, mnstr, collector-crypt, packs and lastpack, with one lucky rip recorded at $453. If you are chasing this card yourself, it has turned up in the One Piece Pro Pack, Pack 4, the One Piece Gacha Pack, Anime Pop Culture Gacha, and the Wildcard Basic Pack. Worth saying plainly though, ripping packs is a gamble and most openings do not come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

How much is Yamato worth?+

Is Yamato worth grading?+
It can be, especially since 31 of the 32 graded copies on record are PSA 10, showing this card tends to grade well. Just know that PSA 10 and Grade 9 resale values are not yet clearly established, so weigh the grading cost carefully before sending your copy in.
