Reshiram: Rarity & Collectibility
Reshiram in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #017/072 of the Shining Fates 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 Reshiram?
In 2026, a Near Mint Reshiram (Ultra Rare, Shining Fates #017/072) changes hands at roughly $1.68, 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 $1.68, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.97. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.68, Lightly Played $1.50, Moderately Played $1.76, Heavily Played $1.61, Damaged $0.97 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Reshiram is valued near $49.99 — about 30x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Reshiram: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Reshiram, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Reshiram sits around $49.99 — 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 $9.50, CGC 10 $40.00, CGC 9.5 $15.50 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Reshiram
As an Ultra Rare, Reshiram carries genuine chase status — exactly the card whose pull keeps a set desirable for years. 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 Reshiram on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
