Mary's Impulse: Rarity & Collectibility
Mary's Impulse in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #142/165 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 Mary's Impulse?
In 2026, a Near Mint Mary's Impulse (Uncommon, Expedition #142/165) changes hands at roughly $9.55, 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 $9.55, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.47. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $9.55, Lightly Played $10.99, Moderately Played $5.39, Heavily Played $3.95, Damaged $1.47 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mary's Impulse is valued near $170.50 — about 18x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Mary's Impulse: 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) Mary's Impulse sits around $170.50 — roughly 18x 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 $27.02, CGC 9.5 $25.00, PSA 8 $19.99 — 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.
