Entei (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Entei (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common # of the Neo Premium File 2 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 Entei (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Entei (Japanese) (Common, Neo Premium File 2 #) changes hands at roughly $16.97, 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 $16.97, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.91. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $16.97, Lightly Played $9.70, Moderately Played $9.16, Heavily Played $5.62, Damaged $3.91 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Entei (Japanese) is valued near $487.50 — about 29x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Entei (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) Entei (Japanese) sits around $487.50 — roughly 29x 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 $51.00, CGC 10 $176.00, PSA 8 $36.00 — 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.
