ABOUT THIS CARD

Growlithe is an uncommon Pokemon card from Pokemon Base Set, card 28 of 102, released January 9, 1999 in the Base series. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.

VALUE

What is Growlithe #28 from Base Set worth?

Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Growlithe #28 (Base Set) carries a market reference of $1.62 USD for the normal printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - we hold no graded-slab data for this card yet, so we do not quote a graded number. Both are references, not offers.

Graded slab values over time GRADED SLAB

Slab values, per grading company and grade. These are a different market from the raw/ungraded reference in the facts block above - do not read one as the other.

No graded-slab price history recorded for this card yet - no Rip Station marks, and no cited public sale results on file. The Rip Station series starts when a copy passes through our machines.

Raw/ungraded reference (not plotted): $1.62 USD (TCGplayer market price, normal, as of 2026-09-11).

PULL RATE

What are the odds of pulling Growlithe #28?

No published per-card pack odds are documented for Base Set, and this card is not in a Rip Station machine in the current snapshot - so we do not quote a number.
