What Is Butterfree Worth?
Butterfree is a Common card from the Southern Islands set, card number 09/18. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Butterfree Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Butterfree (Southern Islands, 09/18) is worth around $35.55 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $35.55, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $9.30. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $35.55, Lightly Played $23.67, Moderately Played $16.55, Heavily Played $14.76, Damaged $9.30 — 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 $365.00 — about 10x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $79.95.
Is It Worth Grading Butterfree?
Grading Butterfree can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($35.55) and a PSA 10 ($365.00) is about $329.45 — a 10x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $79.95, CGC 10 $54.99, CGC 9.5 $49.99. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
