Alakazam: Rarity & Collectibility
Alakazam in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #001/130 of the Base Set 2 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 Alakazam?
In 2026, a Near Mint Alakazam (Holo Rare, Base Set 2 #001/130) changes hands at roughly $49.71, 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 $49.71, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $10.56. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $49.71, Lightly Played $27.49, Moderately Played $20.73, Heavily Played $13.56, Damaged $10.56 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Alakazam is valued near $1,880 — about 38x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Alakazam: 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) Alakazam sits around $1,880 — roughly 38x 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 $130.00, CGC 10 $599.00, CGC 9.5 $150.00 — 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.
