TV Reporter: Rarity & Collectibility
TV Reporter in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #82/101 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 TV Reporter?
In 2026, a Near Mint TV Reporter (Uncommon, Dragon Frontiers #82/101) changes hands at roughly $6.71, 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 $6.71, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.71, Lightly Played $3.13, Moderately Played $3.71, Heavily Played $3.10, Damaged $1.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 TV Reporter is valued near $132.50 — about 20x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded TV Reporter: 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) TV Reporter sits around $132.50 — roughly 20x 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 $23.19, PSA 8 $24.99 — 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.
