Misty's Tears (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Misty's Tears (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common # of the Leaders' Stadium 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 (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Misty's Tears (Japanese) (Common, Leaders' Stadium #) changes hands at roughly $96.59, 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 $96.59, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $32.64. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $96.59, Lightly Played $61.54, Moderately Played $41.05, Heavily Played $36.02, Damaged $32.64 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Misty's Tears (Japanese) is valued near $1,038 — about 11x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Misty's Tears (Japanese): 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 (Japanese) sits around $1,038 — roughly 11x 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 $177.50, CGC 10 $480.00, CGC 9.5 $116.00 — 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.
