Latias (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Latias (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #018/027 of the CP2: Legendary Shine Collection 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 Latias (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Latias (Japanese) (Rare, CP2: Legendary Shine Collection #018/027) changes hands at roughly $80.84, 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 $80.84, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $25.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $80.84, Lightly Played $0.48, Damaged $25.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Latias (Japanese) is valued near $65.00 — about 0.8x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Latias (Japanese): 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) Latias (Japanese) sits around $65.00 — roughly 0.8x 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 $180.00, CGC 10 $195.68, BGS 9.5 $202.50 — 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.
