Nosepass: Rarity & Collectibility
Nosepass in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #17/106 of the Emerald 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 Nosepass?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nosepass (Rare, Emerald #17/106) changes hands at roughly $8.99, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $8.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $8.99, Lightly Played $8.99, Moderately Played $6.40, Heavily Played $4.50, Damaged $3.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
