Muk ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Muk ex in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #96/97 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 Muk ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Muk ex (Ultra Rare, Dragon #96/97) changes hands at roughly $100.00, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $100.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $19.74. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $100.00, Lightly Played $56.69, Moderately Played $38.85, Heavily Played $26.28, Damaged $19.74 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Muk ex is valued near $850.00 — about 8.5x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Muk ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Muk ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Muk ex sits around $850.00 — roughly 8.5x 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 $175.00, CGC 10 $199.00, CGC 9.5 $99.99 — 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.
