Bagon: Rarity & Collectibility
Bagon in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #23/97 of the Dragon 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 Bagon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Bagon (Uncommon, Dragon #23/97) changes hands at roughly $6.86, 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 $6.86, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.34. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.86, Lightly Played $4.69, Moderately Played $3.50, Heavily Played $2.62, Damaged $2.34 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Bagon is valued near $165.00 — about 24x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Bagon: 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) Bagon sits around $165.00 — roughly 24x 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 $40.68, CGC 10 $50.00, PSA 8 $17.50 — 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.
