Ultra Ball: Rarity & Collectibility
Ultra Ball in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #135/149 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 Ultra Ball?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ultra Ball (Uncommon, SM Base Set #135/149) changes hands at roughly $0.53, 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 $0.53, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.53, Lightly Played $0.49, Moderately Played $0.66, Heavily Played $0.49, Damaged $0.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
