Starmie: Rarity & Collectibility
Starmie sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #094/130 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 Starmie?
In 2026, a Near Mint Starmie (Common, Base Set 2 #094/130) changes hands at roughly $0.73, 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 $0.73, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.17. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.73, Lightly Played $0.41, Moderately Played $0.38, Heavily Played $0.23, Damaged $0.17 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Starmie is valued near $37.78 — about 52x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Starmie: 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) Starmie sits around $37.78 — roughly 52x 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 $28.02, CGC 10 $14.99, CGC 9.5 $12.99 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Starmie
As a Common, Starmie earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. Collect it for completeness and the joy of the hunt; its appeal is the set, not the ceiling. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Starmie on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
