Flareon - BW88: Rarity & Collectibility
Flareon - BW88 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #BW88 of the Black and White Promos 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 Flareon - BW88?
In 2026, a Near Mint Flareon - BW88 (Common, Black and White Promos #BW88) changes hands at roughly $44.28, 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 $44.28, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $12.73. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $44.28, Lightly Played $31.57, Moderately Played $19.26, Heavily Played $13.06, Damaged $12.73 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Flareon - BW88 is valued near $2,000 — about 45x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Flareon - BW88: 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) Flareon - BW88 sits around $2,000 — roughly 45x 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 $275.00, PSA 8 $60.00 — 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.
