Banette: Rarity & Collectibility
Banette in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #1/100 of the Crystal Guardians 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 Banette?
In 2026, a Near Mint Banette (Holo Rare, Crystal Guardians #1/100) changes hands at roughly $30.50, 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 $30.50, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.36. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $30.50, Lightly Played $8.66, Moderately Played $6.16, Heavily Played $3.75, Damaged $3.36 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
