Roxanne (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Roxanne (Japanese) 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 #242/172 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 Roxanne (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Roxanne (Japanese) (Ultra Rare, S12a: VSTAR Universe #242/172) changes hands at roughly $7.41, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Roxanne (Japanese) is valued near $32.00 — about 4.3x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Roxanne (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Roxanne (Japanese), the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Roxanne (Japanese) sits around $32.00 — roughly 4.3x 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 $19.50, CGC 10 $23.50, CGC 9.5 $14.00 — 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.
