Ninetales (57): Rarity & Collectibility
Ninetales (57) 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 #057/165 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 Ninetales (57)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ninetales (57) (Rare, Expedition #057/165) changes hands at roughly $30.20, 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 $30.20, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $7.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $30.20, Lightly Played $28.34, Moderately Played $18.38, Heavily Played $11.69, Damaged $7.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ninetales (57) is valued near $370.00 — about 12x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ninetales (57): 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) Ninetales (57) sits around $370.00 — roughly 12x 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 $75.00, CGC 10 $118.50, CGC 9.5 $69.99 — 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.
