Banette: Rarity & Collectibility
Banette in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #1/101 of the Hidden Legends 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 Banette?
In 2026, a Near Mint Banette (Holo Rare, Hidden Legends #1/101) changes hands at roughly $16.70, 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 $16.70, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.75. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $16.70, Lightly Played $16.85, Moderately Played $10.94, Heavily Played $5.94, Damaged $0.75 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Banette is valued near $345.00 — about 21x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Banette: 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) Banette sits around $345.00 — roughly 21x 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 $55.51, CGC 10 $100.00, PSA 8 $30.00 — 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.
