Beedrill (5): Rarity & Collectibility
Beedrill (5) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #005/144 of the Skyridge 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 Beedrill (5)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Beedrill (5) (Rare, Skyridge #005/144) changes hands at roughly $89.99, 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 $89.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $14.49. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $89.99, Lightly Played $50.88, Moderately Played $37.32, Heavily Played $20.00, Damaged $14.49 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Beedrill (5) is valued near $260.00 — about 2.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Beedrill (5): 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) Beedrill (5) sits around $260.00 — roughly 2.9x 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 $62.00, CGC 10 $74.99, PSA 8 $30.00 — 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.
