Ivysaur: Rarity & Collectibility
Ivysaur in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #082/165 of the Expedition 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 Ivysaur?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ivysaur (Uncommon, Expedition #082/165) changes hands at roughly $42.52, 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 $42.52, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $15.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $42.52, Lightly Played $32.72, Moderately Played $33.00, Heavily Played $8.00, Damaged $15.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ivysaur is valued near $353.00 — about 8.3x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ivysaur: 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) Ivysaur sits around $353.00 — roughly 8.3x 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 $85.00, CGC 10 $175.00, CGC 9.5 $56.00 — 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.
