Dark Dragonair: Rarity & Collectibility
Dark Dragonair in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #038/110 of the Legendary Collection 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 Dark Dragonair?
In 2026, a Near Mint Dark Dragonair (Uncommon, Legendary Collection #038/110) changes hands at roughly $395.01, 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 $395.01, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $102.65. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $395.01, Lightly Played $206.45, Moderately Played $208.33, Heavily Played $1.05, Damaged $102.65 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Dark Dragonair is valued near $2,200 — about 5.6x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Dark Dragonair: 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) Dark Dragonair sits around $2,200 — roughly 5.6x 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 $900.00, CGC 10 $550.00, CGC 9.5 $799.00 — 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.
