Question 1

Is Zubat worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's the honest answer on whether Zubat is worth grading: a raw copy sits at $2, a Grade 9 climbs to $20, and a PSA 10 tops out at $109, which works out to about 54.5 times the raw price. That's a real jump, no question, but gem mint commons from this printing era can be tougher to land than people expect, since centering and edge wear show up easily on these older cards. Grading fees, shipping, and the wait all add up, so before you send one in, ask yourself if the copy in your hand actually looks flawless under a loupe, because a Grade 9 result barely covers your costs while a PSA 10 is where the real payoff lives.

Question 2

How rare is Zubat?

Accepted Answer

As a common from the Team Rocket set, Zubat was never meant to be scarce, and that's reflected in its raw price sitting at just $2. Commons like this were printed in large numbers to fill out packs, so the card itself isn't hard to find. What actually creates value here is condition: pulling a true gem mint copy that can grade a PSA 10 is the rare part, not owning the card itself.

Question 3

Where can you pull Zubat?

Accepted Answer

We've tracked Zubat getting pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, and courtyard, so this is a card that shows up with real regularity if you're opening packs. The biggest recorded pull we've logged came in at $91, which tells you even a common Zubat can land well when the copy is clean. If you're chasing one yourself, keep an eye on Pokemon Dime Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack, since those are where our data shows it turning up most. Just remember that pack opening is a gamble no matter how you slice it, and most rips don't beat what you'd pay buying the card outright.

Question 4

How much is Zubat worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Zubat 1st Edition #70 from Team Rocket sits at $2. Grade it and a Grade 9 brings $20, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $109, so condition makes a big difference on this one.

Question 5

Is Zubat worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the copy. The gap between raw at $2 and PSA 10 at $109, roughly 54.5 times more, is tempting, but Grade 9 only nets $20, so anything less than a gem mint result may not cover your grading costs. If your copy has sharp corners and clean centering, it could be worth the shot.

Question 6

Why is the Zubat 1st Edition #70 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

1st Edition cards were part of a smaller, earlier print run before the standard unlimited prints followed, which is why collectors tend to value them higher even on commons like Zubat. It's less about the card's rarity tier and more about being part of that original, more limited release.
