Vaporeon - BW89: Rarity & Collectibility
Vaporeon - BW89 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 #BW89 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 Vaporeon - BW89?
In 2026, a Near Mint Vaporeon - BW89 (Common, Black and White Promos #BW89) changes hands at roughly $48.47, 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 $48.47, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $13.49. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $48.47, Lightly Played $36.67, Moderately Played $24.01, Heavily Played $16.41, Damaged $13.49 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Vaporeon - BW89 is valued near $587.77 — about 12x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Vaporeon - BW89: 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) Vaporeon - BW89 sits around $587.77 — roughly 12x 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 $225.00, PSA 8 $85.45 — 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.
