Hippowdon: Rarity & Collectibility
Hippowdon 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 #29/130 of the Diamond and Pearl 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 Hippowdon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Hippowdon (Rare, Diamond and Pearl #29/130) changes hands at roughly $3.27, 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 $3.27, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.27. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $3.27, Lightly Played $2.24, Moderately Played $0.82, Heavily Played $0.90, Damaged $0.27 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
