Mr. Mime: Rarity & Collectibility
Mr. Mime is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #027/130 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 Mr. Mime?
In 2026, a Near Mint Mr. Mime (Rare, Base Set 2 #027/130) changes hands at roughly $5.69, 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 $5.69, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.36. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.69, Lightly Played $3.52, Moderately Played $2.65, Heavily Played $1.94, Damaged $1.36 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mr. Mime is valued near $28.00 — about 4.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Mr. Mime: 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) Mr. Mime sits around $28.00 — roughly 4.9x 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 $47.25, CGC 10 $16.62, CGC 9.5 $24.99 — 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.
