Charon's Choice: Rarity & Collectibility
Charon's Choice in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #RT6 of the Rising Rivals 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 Charon's Choice?
In 2026, a Near Mint Charon's Choice (Ultra Rare, Rising Rivals #RT6) changes hands at roughly $10.64, 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 $10.64, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $4.17. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $10.64, Lightly Played $9.43, Moderately Played $7.62, Heavily Played $5.27, Damaged $4.17 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charon's Choice is valued near $200.00 — about 19x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Charon's Choice: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Charon's Choice, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Charon's Choice sits around $200.00 — 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 PSA 9 $15.50, PSA 8 $24.00 — 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.
