Ampharos: Rarity & Collectibility
Ampharos in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #23/95 of the Call of Legends 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 Ampharos?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ampharos (Rare, Call of Legends #23/95) changes hands at roughly $15.33, 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 $15.33, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $15.33, Lightly Played $9.58, Moderately Played $7.33, Heavily Played $2.40, Damaged $2.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ampharos is valued near $1,272 — about 83x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ampharos: 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) Ampharos sits around $1,272 — roughly 83x 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 $103.50, CGC 10 $80.00, PSA 8 $38.00 — 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.
