Ursaring (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Ursaring (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #016/020 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 Ursaring (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ursaring (Japanese) (Common, Shiny Collection #016/020) changes hands at roughly $9.99, 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 $9.99, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $5.66. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $9.99, Lightly Played $9.72, Moderately Played $5.43, Heavily Played $5.66 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ursaring (Japanese) is valued near $79.99 — about 8.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ursaring (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) Ursaring (Japanese) sits around $79.99 — roughly 8.0x 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 $24.99, PSA 8 $24.99 — 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.
