What Is Arcanine Worth?

Arcanine is an Uncommon from Base Set 2, card number 033/130. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.

Arcanine Value Breakdown

As of 2026, Arcanine (Base Set 2, 033/130) is worth around $1.89 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.89, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.48. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.89, Lightly Played $1.35, Moderately Played $1.05, Heavily Played $0.74, Damaged $0.48 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $115.00 — about 61x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $27.33.

Is It Worth Grading Arcanine?

Grading Arcanine can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.89) and a PSA 10 ($115.00) is about $113.11 — a 61x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $27.33, CGC 10 $80.00, PSA 8 $38.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.

Is Arcanine a Good Buy?

Arcanine is an uncommon — steady set-filler value rather than an investment piece. Don't expect price growth here — value it for completeness, not returns.
