Slowking: Rarity & Collectibility
Slowking in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #28/113 of the Delta Species 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 Slowking?
In 2026, a Near Mint Slowking (Rare, Delta Species #28/113) changes hands at roughly $34.43, 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 $34.43, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $6.69. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $34.43, Lightly Played $30.77, Moderately Played $15.41, Heavily Played $6.77, Damaged $6.69 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Slowking is valued near $680.00 — about 20x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Slowking: 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) Slowking sits around $680.00 — roughly 20x 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 $160.00, CGC 10 $102.50, CGC 9.5 $61.00 — 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.
