Kingler: Rarity & Collectibility
Kingler 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 #20/106 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 Kingler?
In 2026, a Near Mint Kingler (Rare, Great Encounters #20/106) changes hands at roughly $5.18, 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 $5.18, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.48. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.18, Lightly Played $1.61, Moderately Played $1.93, Heavily Played $1.37, Damaged $0.48 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Kingler is valued near $299.99 — about 58x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Kingler: 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) Kingler sits around $299.99 — roughly 58x 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 $12.34, CGC 9.5 $15.50 — 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.
