Palworld Golden Cattiva card breaks $10,000 just one month after TCG launch

A Palworld card is on track to sell for more than $10,000 barely one month after the franchise’s new trading card game launched.

Pocketpair and Bushiroad released the Palworld Official Card Game’s first booster set, Dawn of Palpagos, on July 30. The set contains 100 standard card types and 61 parallels, all featuring original illustrations of characters and creatures from the survival game.

An unannounced all-gold Cattiva Soul card carrying the mysterious SSS rarity quickly emerged as its biggest chase card. Dexerto previously reported that copies were being listed and sold for thousands immediately after release.

Now, the first Gold Soul Cattiva to earn a perfect PSA grade has pushed the young card game into five-figure territory.

Gold Cattiva reaches vintage Pokemon prices in just weeks

An eBay auction for the PSA 10 Cattiva reached $10,350 after 61 bids on September 2. The auction is scheduled to end on September 3, meaning the final price could climb even higher.

The listing identifies the card as a population one, making it the only Gold Soul Cattiva currently recorded with PSA’s Gem Mint 10 grade.

“The first PSA 10 Gold Soul Cattiva is about to set its market price,” collector 808 wrote on X, highlighting how quickly bidding had passed $10,000.

That price is especially striking when compared to Pokemon card history. A mint first-edition Charizard released in 1999 sold for $8,800 in November 2016, according to a previous auction listing covered by Dexerto. That sale came 17 years after the card was released.

Gold Cattiva has surpassed that figure only 34 days after Palworld’s first booster set arrived.

However, the comparison does not mean Cattiva has reached the upper levels of the Pokemon market. A PSA 10 first-edition Charizard sold for $550,000 in December 2025, while the only PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator fetched a record $16.5 million in February 2026.

Cattiva’s current value is also heavily tied to it being the first PSA 10. More copies could receive the same grade as collectors submit cards, increasing its population and potentially reducing that premium.

Ungraded Gold Cattiva cards currently have an estimated market price of around $1,550, with recent completed sales ranging from approximately $1,700 to $2,500.

The $10,350 figure remains a live bid rather than a completed sale. If the winning bidder follows through after the auction ends, however, Palworld will have its first confirmed five-figure card little more than a month into the TCG’s existence.
