Lapras: Rarity & Collectibility
Lapras in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #023/078 of the Pokemon GO 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 Lapras?
In 2026, a Near Mint Lapras (Holo Rare, Pokemon GO #023/078) changes hands at roughly $0.35, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.35, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.15. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.35, Lightly Played $0.47, Moderately Played $0.26, Heavily Played $0.01, Damaged $0.15 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Lapras is valued near $79.95 — about 228x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Lapras: 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) Lapras sits around $79.95 — roughly 228x 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 $5.50, PSA 8 $5.60 — 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.
