Ninetales: Rarity & Collectibility
Ninetales 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 #013/130 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 Ninetales?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ninetales (Holo Rare, Base Set 2 #013/130) changes hands at roughly $23.00, 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 $23.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.67. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $23.00, Lightly Played $15.25, Moderately Played $10.45, Heavily Played $8.77, Damaged $5.67 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ninetales is valued near $550.00 — about 24x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ninetales: 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) Ninetales sits around $550.00 — roughly 24x 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 $99.00, CGC 10 $185.00, CGC 9.5 $90.00 — 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.
