Swablu: Rarity & Collectibility
Swablu in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #79/107 of the Deoxys 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 Swablu?
In 2026, a Near Mint Swablu (Common, Deoxys #79/107) changes hands at roughly $44.95, 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 $44.95, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.05. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $44.95, Lightly Played $19.68, Moderately Played $10.15, Heavily Played $7.31, Damaged $2.05 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Swablu is valued near $230.00 — about 5.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Swablu: 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) Swablu sits around $230.00 — roughly 5.1x 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 $22.50, CGC 10 $29.00, PSA 8 $19.50 — 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.

Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Swablu on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
