Starmie: Rarity & Collectibility
Starmie sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #5 of the Rumble 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 Starmie?
In 2026, a Near Mint Starmie (Common, Rumble #5) changes hands at roughly $81.61, 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 $81.61, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $33.96. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $81.61, Lightly Played $81.96, Moderately Played $51.66, Heavily Played $30.11, Damaged $33.96 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Starmie is valued near $2,025 — about 25x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Starmie: 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) Starmie sits around $2,025 — 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 $197.09, PSA 8 $124.00 — 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.
