Houndour (87): Rarity & Collectibility
Houndour (87) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #087/147 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 Houndour (87)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Houndour (87) (Common, Aquapolis #087/147) changes hands at roughly $20.00, 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 $20.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $11.85. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $20.00, Lightly Played $15.93, Moderately Played $10.45, Heavily Played $10.02, Damaged $11.85 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Houndour (87) is valued near $225.00 — about 11x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Houndour (87): 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) Houndour (87) sits around $225.00 — roughly 11x 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 $53.00, CGC 10 $43.00, PSA 8 $58.00 — 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.
