Koffing: Rarity & Collectibility
Koffing in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #74/106 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 Koffing?
In 2026, a Near Mint Koffing (Common, Great Encounters #74/106) changes hands at roughly $7.74, 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 $7.74, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.18. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $7.74, Lightly Played $2.15, Moderately Played $1.33, Heavily Played $1.49, Damaged $0.18 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Koffing is valued near $119.99 — about 16x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Koffing: 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) Koffing sits around $119.99 — roughly 16x 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 $99.99, CGC 9.5 $10.50 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Koffing
As a Common, Koffing earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. An accessible pickup whose pull is enjoyment and progress toward a finished set. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Koffing on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
