Nosepass: Rarity & Collectibility
Nosepass in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #18/109 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 Nosepass?
In 2026, a Near Mint Nosepass (Rare, Ruby and Sapphire #18/109) changes hands at roughly $7.15, 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 $7.15, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.27. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $7.15, Lightly Played $3.54, Moderately Played $1.94, Heavily Played $2.16, Damaged $1.27 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
