Wurmple: Rarity & Collectibility
Wurmple 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 #81/97 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 Wurmple?
In 2026, a Near Mint Wurmple (Common, Dragon #81/97) changes hands at roughly $4.23, 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 $4.23, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.84. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.23, Lightly Played $2.00, Moderately Played $1.58, Heavily Played $1.28, Damaged $0.84 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Wurmple is valued near $147.77 — about 35x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Wurmple: 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) Wurmple sits around $147.77 — roughly 35x 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 $44.99, PSA 8 $22.79 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Wurmple
As a Common, Wurmple earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. An accessible pickup whose pull is enjoyment and progress toward a finished set. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Wurmple on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
