Noibat (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Noibat (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #027/027 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 Noibat (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Noibat (Japanese) (Common, CP2: Legendary Shine Collection #027/027) changes hands at roughly $5.00, 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 $5.00, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $2.44. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.00, Lightly Played $3.49, Moderately Played $2.44 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Noibat (Japanese) is valued near $46.00 — about 9.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Noibat (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) Noibat (Japanese) sits around $46.00 — roughly 9.2x 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 $23.99 — 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.
