Eiscue (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Eiscue (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #049/190 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 Eiscue (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Eiscue (Japanese) (Common, S4a: Shiny Star V #049/190) changes hands at roughly $0.20, 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 $0.20, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $0.28. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Eiscue (Japanese) is valued near $15.00 — about 75x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Eiscue (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) Eiscue (Japanese) sits around $15.00 — roughly 75x 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 $5.13 — 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 Eiscue (Japanese)
As a Common, Eiscue (Japanese) earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. Collect it for completeness and the joy of the hunt; its appeal is the set, not the ceiling. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Eiscue (Japanese) on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
