What Is Wooper Worth?
Wooper (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the XY - Ancient Origins set, card number 38/98. 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.
Wooper Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Wooper (XY - Ancient Origins, 38/98) is worth around $1.02 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.02, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.20. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.02, Lightly Played $0.84, Moderately Played $0.40, Heavily Played $0.26, Damaged $0.20 — 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 $1,450 — about 1422x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $29.99.
Is It Worth Grading Wooper?
Grading Wooper can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.02) and a PSA 10 ($1,450) is about $1,449 — a 1422x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $29.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
