Starly: Rarity & Collectibility
Starly sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #016/017 of the POP Series 6 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 Starly?
In 2026, a Near Mint Starly (Common, POP Series 6 #016/017) changes hands at roughly $2.98, 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 $2.98, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.98, Lightly Played $2.69, Moderately Played $2.50, Heavily Played $1.78, Damaged $1.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Starly is valued near $55.55 — about 19x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Starly: 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) Starly sits around $55.55 — roughly 19x 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 CGC 10 $10.00 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Starly
As a Common, Starly earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. An accessible pickup whose pull is enjoyment and progress toward a finished set. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Starly on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
