What Is Primeape Worth?
Primeape is a Common card from the Southern Islands set, card number 18/18. 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.
Primeape Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Primeape (Southern Islands, 18/18) is worth around $30.67 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $30.67, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $8.13. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $30.67, Lightly Played $19.88, Moderately Played $12.95, Heavily Played $9.26, Damaged $8.13 — 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 $250.00 — about 8.2x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $64.95.
Is It Worth Grading Primeape?
Grading Primeape can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($30.67) and a PSA 10 ($250.00) is about $219.33 — a 8.2x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $64.95, CGC 10 $60.00, CGC 9.5 $32.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
