Vulpix: Rarity & Collectibility
Vulpix 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 #72/106 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 Vulpix?
In 2026, a Near Mint Vulpix (Common, Emerald #72/106) changes hands at roughly $42.14, 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 $42.14, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $10.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $42.14, Lightly Played $26.62, Moderately Played $21.50, Heavily Played $3.70, Damaged $10.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Vulpix is valued near $270.20 — about 6.4x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Vulpix: 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) Vulpix sits around $270.20 — roughly 6.4x 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 $65.00, CGC 10 $99.99, PSA 8 $30.00 — 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.
