Articuno ex: Rarity & Collectibility

Articuno ex is a Secret Rare — a top-of-the-set short print and one of the toughest cards to land in the wild. Cataloged as Secret Rare #114/112 of the FireRed & LeafGreen 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 Articuno ex?

In 2026, a Near Mint Articuno ex (Secret Rare, FireRed & LeafGreen #114/112) changes hands at roughly $51.99, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $51.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $44.45. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $51.99, Lightly Played $214.20, Moderately Played $105.31, Heavily Played $64.15, Damaged $44.45 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Articuno ex is valued near $1,680 — about 32x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Articuno ex: Gem Mint & Population

For a chase card like Articuno ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Articuno ex sits around $1,680 — roughly 32x 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 $380.00, CGC 10 $480.00, PSA 8 $200.00 — 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.
