What Is Cubone Worth?
Cubone is a Common card from the Base Set 2 set, card number 070/130. 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.
Cubone Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Cubone (Base Set 2, 070/130) is worth around $1.44 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.44, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.48. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.44, Lightly Played $0.74, Moderately Played $0.68, Heavily Played $0.47, 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 $87.00 — about 60x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $18.00.
Is It Worth Grading Cubone?
Grading Cubone can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.44) and a PSA 10 ($87.00) is about $85.56 — a 60x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $18.00, CGC 10 $79.99, CGC 9.5 $7.01. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.

Is Cubone a Good Buy?
As a common, Cubone holds little standalone value, but clean copies still matter for set completion. Don't expect price growth here — value it for completeness, not returns. Whatever you decide, recheck Cubone's value on PokeCardWorth before buying or selling — the 2026 market shifts with set releases, nostalgia cycles, and demand.
