What Is Butterfree Worth?
Butterfree (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the XY - Flashfire set, card number 3/106. 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.
Butterfree Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Butterfree (XY - Flashfire, 3/106) is worth around $1.25 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.25, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.23. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.25, Lightly Played $0.89, Moderately Played $0.40, Heavily Played $1.98, Damaged $0.23 — 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 $30.00 — about 24x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value.
Is It Worth Grading Butterfree?
Grading Butterfree can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.25) and a PSA 10 ($30.00) is about $28.75 — a 24x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 8 $8.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
