Donphan: Rarity & Collectibility
Donphan in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #007/147 of the Aquapolis 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 Donphan?
In 2026, a Near Mint Donphan (Rare, Aquapolis #007/147) changes hands at roughly $27.23, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $27.23, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $11.62. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $27.23, Lightly Played $21.75, Moderately Played $15.49, Heavily Played $6.44, Damaged $11.62 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Donphan is valued near $140.50 — about 5.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Donphan: 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) Donphan sits around $140.50 — roughly 5.2x 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 $47.00, PSA 8 $12.50 — 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.
