Scolipede: Rarity & Collectibility
Scolipede 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 #58/147 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 Scolipede?
In 2026, a Near Mint Scolipede (Rare, SM - Burning Shadows #58/147) changes hands at roughly $0.30, 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 $0.30, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.17. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.30, Lightly Played $0.33, Moderately Played $0.24, Heavily Played $0.03, Damaged $0.17 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Scolipede is valued near $99.95 — about 333x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Scolipede: 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) Scolipede sits around $99.95 — roughly 333x 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 $9.99 — 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.
