Electivire: Rarity & Collectibility
Electivire in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #43/147 of the SM - Burning Shadows 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 Electivire?
In 2026, a Near Mint Electivire (Rare, SM - Burning Shadows #43/147) changes hands at roughly $0.31, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.31, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.08. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.31, Lightly Played $0.35, Moderately Played $0.31, Heavily Played $0.08 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
