Ekans (Delta Species): Rarity & Collectibility
Ekans (Delta Species) 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 #47/101 of the Dragon Frontiers 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 Ekans (Delta Species)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ekans (Delta Species) (Common, Dragon Frontiers #47/101) changes hands at roughly $18.43, 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 $18.43, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $18.43, Lightly Played $14.24, Moderately Played $4.68, Heavily Played $3.46, Damaged $2.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ekans (Delta Species) is valued near $60.00 — about 3.3x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ekans (Delta Species): 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) Ekans (Delta Species) sits around $60.00 — roughly 3.3x 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 $65.00, CGC 10 $81.00, PSA 8 $22.49 — 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.
