What Is Tentacruel Worth?
Tentacruel (Unlimited variant) is an Uncommon from Fossil, card number 44/62. 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.
Tentacruel Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Tentacruel (Fossil, 44/62) is worth around $1.29 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.29, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.28. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.29, Lightly Played $0.68, Moderately Played $0.53, Heavily Played $0.44, Damaged $0.28 — 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 $79.25 — about 61x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $26.99.
Is It Worth Grading Tentacruel?
Grading Tentacruel can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.29) and a PSA 10 ($79.25) is about $77.96 — a 61x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $26.99, CGC 9.5 $7.60, PSA 8 $17.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
