Radiant Charjabug (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Radiant Charjabug (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #039/172 of the S12a: VSTAR Universe 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 Radiant Charjabug (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Radiant Charjabug (Japanese) (Common, S12a: VSTAR Universe #039/172) changes hands at roughly $0.35, 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 $0.35, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $0.59. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Radiant Charjabug (Japanese) is valued near $45.00 — about 129x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Radiant Charjabug (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) Radiant Charjabug (Japanese) sits around $45.00 — roughly 129x 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 $9.00, CGC 10 $20.00, CGC 9.5 $2.00 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Radiant Charjabug (Japanese)
