Vulpix (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Vulpix (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #012/093 of the EX Battle Boost 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 (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Vulpix (Japanese) (Common, EX Battle Boost #012/093) changes hands at roughly $4.93, 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 $4.93, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.60. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.93, Lightly Played $4.00, Moderately Played $2.83, Heavily Played $1.99, Damaged $1.60 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Vulpix (Japanese) is valued near $39.99 — about 8.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Vulpix (Japanese): 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 (Japanese) sits around $39.99 — roughly 8.1x 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 $11.25, CGC 10 $59.99 — 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.
