Cacturne: Rarity & Collectibility
Cacturne in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #34/106 of the Great Encounters 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 Cacturne?
In 2026, a Near Mint Cacturne (Uncommon, Great Encounters #34/106) changes hands at roughly $2.40, 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 $2.40, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.65. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.40, Lightly Played $1.58, Moderately Played $0.93, Heavily Played $0.22, Damaged $0.65 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Cacturne is valued near $381.42 — about 159x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Cacturne: 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) Cacturne sits around $381.42 — roughly 159x 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 CGC 10 $24.00 — 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.
