Electabuzz: Rarity & Collectibility
Electabuzz is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #020/102 of the Base Set 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 Electabuzz?
In 2026, a Near Mint Electabuzz (Rare, Base Set #020/102) changes hands at roughly $13.56, 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 $13.56, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.48. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $13.56, Lightly Played $4.61, Moderately Played $2.90, Heavily Played $1.96, Damaged $1.48 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Electabuzz is valued near $154.00 — about 11x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Electabuzz: 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) Electabuzz sits around $154.00 — roughly 11x 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 $80.00, CGC 10 $42.50, CGC 9.5 $29.99 — 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.
