Professor's Research (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Cataloged as Secret Rare #071/060 of the S1W: Sword 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.

In 2026, a Near Mint Professor's Research (Japanese) (Secret Rare, S1W: Sword #071/060) changes hands at roughly $10.00, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure.
