Ho-Oh EX: Rarity & Collectibility
Ho-Oh 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 #22/124 of the Dragons Exalted 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 Ho-Oh EX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ho-Oh EX (Ultra Rare, Dragons Exalted #22/124) changes hands at roughly $5.66, 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 $5.66, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.26. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.66, Lightly Played $2.94, Moderately Played $2.61, Heavily Played $1.88, Damaged $1.26 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ho-Oh EX is valued near $299.99 — about 53x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ho-Oh EX: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Ho-Oh EX, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Ho-Oh EX sits around $299.99 — roughly 53x 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 $19.50, CGC 10 $42.00, PSA 8 $18.60 — 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.
