Centiskorch V (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Centiskorch V (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a Secret Rare — a top-of-the-set short print and one of the toughest cards to land in the wild. Cataloged as Secret Rare #309/190 of the S4a: Shiny Star V 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 Centiskorch V (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Centiskorch V (Japanese) (Secret Rare, S4a: Shiny Star V #309/190) changes hands at roughly $1.44, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $1.44, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $1.00. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Centiskorch V (Japanese) is valued near $18.00 — about 13x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Centiskorch V (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Centiskorch V (Japanese), the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Centiskorch V (Japanese) sits around $18.00 — roughly 13x 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 $7.69, CGC 10 $5.50 — 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.
