Huntail: Rarity & Collectibility
Huntail in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #42/106 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 Huntail?
In 2026, a Near Mint Huntail (Uncommon, Great Encounters #42/106) changes hands at roughly $3.78, 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 $3.78, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.14. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $3.78, Lightly Played $2.14, Moderately Played $1.13, Heavily Played $0.72, Damaged $0.14 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Huntail is valued near $200.00 — about 53x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Huntail: 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) Huntail sits around $200.00 — roughly 53x 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 $12.07, CGC 10 $22.50, CGC 9.5 $8.50 — 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.
