Timer Ball: Rarity & Collectibility
Timer Ball in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #134/149 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 Timer Ball?
In 2026, a Near Mint Timer Ball (Uncommon, SM Base Set #134/149) changes hands at roughly $0.49, 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 $0.49, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.68. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.49, Lightly Played $0.39, Moderately Played $0.30, Heavily Played $0.30, Damaged $0.68 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Timer Ball is valued near $19.99 — about 41x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Timer Ball: 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) Timer Ball sits around $19.99 — roughly 41x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
