Lapras (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Lapras (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #023/071 of the S10b: Pokemon GO 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 Lapras (Japanese)?

In 2026, a Near Mint Lapras (Japanese) (Rare, S10b: Pokemon GO #023/071) changes hands at roughly $0.76, 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 $0.76, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $0.31. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Lapras (Japanese) is valued near $16.27 — about 21x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Lapras (Japanese): 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) Lapras (Japanese) sits around $16.27 — roughly 21x 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 $21.50 — 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.
