Quilava: Rarity & Collectibility
Quilava in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #51/100 of the Sandstorm 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 Quilava?
In 2026, a Near Mint Quilava (Uncommon, Sandstorm #51/100) changes hands at roughly $26.35, 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 $26.35, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.49. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $26.35, Lightly Played $15.84, Moderately Played $9.37, Heavily Played $1.04, Damaged $2.49 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Quilava is valued near $790.58 — about 30x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Quilava: 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) Quilava sits around $790.58 — roughly 30x 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 $34.00, CGC 10 $150.00, PSA 8 $29.67 — 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.
