Deoxys (68): Rarity & Collectibility
Deoxys (68) 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 #68/168 of the SM - Celestial Storm 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 Deoxys (68)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Deoxys (68) (Rare, SM - Celestial Storm #68/168) changes hands at roughly $1.23, 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 $1.23, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.20. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.23, Lightly Played $1.11, Moderately Played $1.14, Heavily Played $0.23, Damaged $0.20 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Deoxys (68) is valued near $49.99 — about 41x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Deoxys (68): 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) Deoxys (68) sits around $49.99 — 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. Step down a notch and demand spreads across CGC 10 $37.79 — 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.
