Shaymin EX: Rarity & Collectibility
Shaymin EX in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #5/99 of the Next Destinies 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 Shaymin EX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Shaymin EX (Ultra Rare, Next Destinies #5/99) changes hands at roughly $8.39, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $8.39, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $8.39, Lightly Played $6.54, Moderately Played $4.45, Heavily Played $3.41, Damaged $2.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Shaymin EX is valued near $16.49 — about 2.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Shaymin EX: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Shaymin EX, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Shaymin EX sits around $16.49 — roughly 2.0x 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 $80.00, PSA 8 $16.50 — 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.
