Persian: Rarity & Collectibility
Persian in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #042/144 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 Persian?
In 2026, a Near Mint Persian (Uncommon, Skyridge #042/144) changes hands at roughly $44.06, 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 $44.06, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $24.61. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $44.06, Lightly Played $35.00, Moderately Played $69.99, Heavily Played $16.00, Damaged $24.61 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Persian is valued near $510.00 — about 12x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Persian: 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) Persian sits around $510.00 — roughly 12x 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 $109.99, CGC 10 $182.50, PSA 8 $43.00 — 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.
