Arceus V (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Arceus V (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #112/100 of the S9: Star Birth 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 Arceus V (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Arceus V (Japanese) (Rare, S9: Star Birth #112/100) changes hands at roughly $48.55, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $48.55, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $38.00. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Arceus V (Japanese) is valued near $115.82 — about 2.4x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Arceus V (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) Arceus V (Japanese) sits around $115.82 — roughly 2.4x 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 $41.00, CGC 10 $94.99, CGC 9.5 $25.00 — 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.
