Poison Barb: Rarity & Collectibility
Poison Barb in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #124/149 of the SM Base Set 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 Poison Barb?
In 2026, a Near Mint Poison Barb (Uncommon, SM Base Set #124/149) changes hands at roughly $0.21, 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 $0.21, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.21, Lightly Played $0.23, Moderately Played $0.12, Heavily Played $0.15, Damaged $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
