Tap to open
Zapdos needs no introduction if you grew up with Pokemon, and this particular version, the Zapdos Tekno #145 from the 2000 Topps Chrome set released in 2023, is one collectors chase for good reason. It carries the Double rare tag and comes from artist takuyoa, which gives it a distinct look that stands out in the set. If you are here checking Zapdos value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $1,679, and that number climbs a lot once grading enters the picture.

The collector's take on Zapdos
Is Zapdos worth grading?
So is it worth grading? That depends on how confident you are in the copy sitting in your hands. A PSA 10 Zapdos is worth 7.7x the raw price, which puts it at $13,000 against the $1,679 you'd get for an ungraded card, and even a Grade 9 brings $3,387. That is a real jump, but gem mint is not easy to land. Grading costs money and time, and there is no refund if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10 because of a soft corner or a faint print line you didn't catch. If your copy looks clean under a light and you have patience, grading can pay off. If you are unsure, it is worth living with the raw value for a while rather than gambling on a submission.
How rare is Zapdos?
The numbers here tell a quiet story. Only 20 graded copies of Zapdos exist across all grading services, and of those, just 8 have earned a PSA 10. That is a tight population for a card this desirable, and it means gem mint copies are genuinely hard to come by rather than just marketed that way. When a population stays this low, value tends to hold firm because there simply are not enough top copies to go around, and that scarcity is baked directly into that $13,000 PSA 10 figure.
Where can you pull Zapdos?
Here is where we get honest: PackSpy tracks real pulls across online pack sites, and so far Zapdos has not shown up on any tracked site. That tells you something important. This is not a card you should expect to rip from a live pack any time soon. Most collectors who own one bought it on the secondary market rather than pulling it themselves, and that lines up with everything else we know about this card, low population, high value, and a set that does not seem to be flooding pack sites. Worth remembering too that pack opening in general is a gamble where most rips do not cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Zapdos worth?+
A raw or ungraded Zapdos Tekno #145 is valued at $1,679. That number moves up significantly with grading, so the raw price is really just the starting point depending on the condition of your copy.
Is Zapdos worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for $13,000 compared to $1,679 raw, a 7.7x jump. But with only 8 PSA 10s out of 20 total graded copies, gem mint is genuinely rare, so grading is worth it mainly if your card is in excellent shape already.
How much is a PSA 10 Zapdos worth?+
A PSA 10 Zapdos is worth $13,000. That reflects both the card's desirability and the fact that only 8 copies have ever graded that high out of 20 total graded examples.
