Skiploom: Rarity & Collectibility
Skiploom in its sought-after Unlimited variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #049/111 of the Neo Genesis 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 Skiploom?
In 2026, a Near Mint Skiploom (Uncommon, Neo Genesis #049/111) changes hands at roughly $0.95, 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 $0.95, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.95, Lightly Played $0.47, Moderately Played $0.41, Heavily Played $0.37, Damaged $0.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Skiploom is valued near $19.72 — about 21x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Skiploom: 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) Skiploom sits around $19.72 — 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 $24.09, CGC 10 $13.17, PSA 8 $8.50 — 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.
