Staryu (104): Rarity & Collectibility
Staryu (104) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #104/144 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 Staryu (104)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Staryu (104) (Common, Skyridge #104/144) changes hands at roughly $59.99, 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 $59.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $14.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $59.99, Lightly Played $34.99, Moderately Played $34.99, Heavily Played $24.99, Damaged $14.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Staryu (104) is valued near $399.99 — about 6.7x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Staryu (104): 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) Staryu (104) sits around $399.99 — roughly 6.7x 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 $130.00, CGC 10 $80.00, PSA 8 $82.78 — 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.
