Purrloin (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Purrloin (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #013/020 of the Shiny Collection 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 Purrloin (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Purrloin (Japanese) (Uncommon, Shiny Collection #013/020) changes hands at roughly $14.99, 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 $14.99, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $10.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $14.99, Lightly Played $15.00, Moderately Played $9.99, Heavily Played $10.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Purrloin (Japanese) is valued near $71.54 — about 4.8x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Purrloin (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) Purrloin (Japanese) sits around $71.54 — roughly 4.8x 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 $40.64, CGC 10 $55.70, PSA 8 $14.99 — 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.
