Misty's Tears: Rarity & Collectibility
Misty's Tears in its sought-after Unlimited variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #118/132 of the Gym Challenge 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 Misty's Tears?
In 2026, a Near Mint Misty's Tears (Uncommon, Gym Challenge #118/132) changes hands at roughly $16.42, 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 $16.42, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $7.44. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $16.42, Lightly Played $15.76, Moderately Played $12.09, Heavily Played $8.72, Damaged $7.44 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Misty's Tears is valued near $135.00 — about 8.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Misty's Tears: 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) Misty's Tears sits around $135.00 — roughly 8.2x 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 $100.00, CGC 10 $99.99, CGC 9.5 $50.60 — 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.
