Darkrai GX - 88a/147: Rarity & Collectibility
Darkrai GX - 88a/147 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #088a/147 of the Alternate Art Promos set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Darkrai GX - 88a/147?
In 2026, a Near Mint Darkrai GX - 88a/147 (Common, Alternate Art Promos #088a/147) changes hands at roughly $11.15, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $11.15, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.59. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $11.15, Lightly Played $5.88, Moderately Played $4.06, Heavily Played $4.26, Damaged $2.59 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Darkrai GX - 88a/147 is valued near $828.00 — about 74x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Darkrai GX - 88a/147: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Darkrai GX - 88a/147 sits around $828.00 — roughly 74x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $15.50, PSA 8 $16.25 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
