Time Shard: Rarity & Collectibility
Time Shard in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #135/147 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 Time Shard?
In 2026, a Near Mint Time Shard (Uncommon, Aquapolis #135/147) changes hands at roughly $9.99, 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 $9.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.48. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $9.99, Lightly Played $4.40, Moderately Played $4.59, Heavily Played $1.38, Damaged $2.48 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Time Shard is valued near $152.00 — about 15x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Time Shard: 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) Time Shard sits around $152.00 — roughly 15x 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 $4.25, CGC 10 $14.99, PSA 8 $14.48 — 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.
