Electabuzz ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Electabuzz 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 #97/109 of the Ruby and Sapphire 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 Electabuzz ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Electabuzz ex (Ultra Rare, Ruby and Sapphire #97/109) changes hands at roughly $44.23, 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 $44.23, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $13.97. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $44.23, Lightly Played $36.88, Moderately Played $25.36, Heavily Played $19.19, Damaged $13.97 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Electabuzz ex is valued near $1,100 — about 25x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Electabuzz ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Electabuzz ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Electabuzz ex sits around $1,100 — roughly 25x 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 $169.99, CGC 10 $152.50, CGC 9.5 $125.00 — 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.
