Darkrai - DP52: Rarity & Collectibility
Darkrai - DP52 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #DP52 of the Diamond and Pearl Promos 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 Darkrai - DP52?
In 2026, a Near Mint Darkrai - DP52 (Common, Diamond and Pearl Promos #DP52) changes hands at roughly $31.17, 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 $31.17, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.72. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $31.17, Lightly Played $9.66, Moderately Played $6.70, Heavily Played $3.32, Damaged $2.72 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Darkrai - DP52 is valued near $138.50 — about 4.4x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Darkrai - DP52: 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) Darkrai - DP52 sits around $138.50 — roughly 4.4x 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 $125.00, PSA 8 $15.49 — 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.
