Kadabra: Rarity & Collectibility
Kadabra is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #046/130 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 Kadabra?
In 2026, a Near Mint Kadabra (Uncommon, Base Set 2 #046/130) changes hands at roughly $1.64, 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 $1.64, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.27. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.64, Lightly Played $0.79, Moderately Played $0.51, Heavily Played $0.43, Damaged $0.27 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Kadabra is valued near $51.00 — about 31x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Kadabra: 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) Kadabra sits around $51.00 — roughly 31x 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 $23.72, CGC 10 $18.50, PSA 8 $12.37 — 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.
