Kingler (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Kingler (Japanese) is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon # of the Mystery of the Fossils 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 Kingler (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Kingler (Japanese) (Uncommon, Mystery of the Fossils #) changes hands at roughly $1.26, 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 $1.26, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.35. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.26, Lightly Played $0.59, Moderately Played $0.47, Heavily Played $0.35, Damaged $0.35 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Kingler (Japanese) is valued near $129.69 — about 103x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Kingler (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) Kingler (Japanese) sits around $129.69 — roughly 103x 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 $22.00, PSA 8 $8.52 — 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.
