Omanyte (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Omanyte (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common # of the Crossing the Ruins... 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 Omanyte (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Omanyte (Japanese) (Common, Crossing the Ruins... #) changes hands at roughly $1.39, 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 $1.39, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.27. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.39, Lightly Played $0.83, Moderately Played $0.77, Heavily Played $0.64, Damaged $0.27 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Omanyte (Japanese) is valued near $35.00 — about 25x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Omanyte (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) Omanyte (Japanese) sits around $35.00 — roughly 25x 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 CGC 10 $21.50, CGC 9.5 $10.00 — 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.
