Ninetales Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ninetales (Base Set, 012/102) is worth around $36.28 in Near Mint condition.

The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $36.28, Lightly Played $16.85, Moderately Played $11.00, Heavily Played $9.61, Damaged $6.81 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.
