Shaymin (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Shaymin (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #003/036 of the CP5: Mythical & Legendary Dream 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 Shaymin (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Shaymin (Japanese) (Common, CP5: Mythical & Legendary Dream Shine Collection #003/036) changes hands at roughly $10.11, 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 $10.11, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.39. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $10.11, Lightly Played $8.82, Moderately Played $5.00, Damaged $5.39 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Shaymin (Japanese) is valued near $50.00 — about 4.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Shaymin (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) Shaymin (Japanese) sits around $50.00 — roughly 4.9x 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 $24.50, CGC 10 $59.49, PSA 8 $7.50 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Shaymin (Japanese)
