Beedrill: Rarity & Collectibility
Beedrill is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #021/130 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 Beedrill?
In 2026, a Near Mint Beedrill (Rare, Base Set 2 #021/130) changes hands at roughly $2.55, 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 $2.55, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.44. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.55, Lightly Played $1.26, Moderately Played $1.07, Heavily Played $0.72, Damaged $0.44 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Beedrill is valued near $76.00 — about 30x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Beedrill: 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) Beedrill sits around $76.00 — roughly 30x 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 $27.51, CGC 10 $65.04, PSA 8 $17.99 — 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.
