What Is Lapras Worth?
Lapras is a Common card from the Southern Islands set, card number 12/18. 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.
Lapras Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Lapras (Southern Islands, 12/18) is worth around $47.79 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $47.79, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $15.93. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $47.79, Lightly Played $36.16, Moderately Played $31.02, Heavily Played $22.36, Damaged $15.93 — 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 $316.95 — about 6.6x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $85.00.
Is It Worth Grading Lapras?
Grading Lapras can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($47.79) and a PSA 10 ($316.95) is about $269.16 — a 6.6x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $85.00, CGC 10 $100.00, CGC 9.5 $64.99. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
