Underground Expedition (Full Art): Rarity & Collectibility
Underground Expedition (Full Art) in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #168/168 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 Underground Expedition (Full Art)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Underground Expedition (Full Art) (Ultra Rare, SM - Celestial Storm #168/168) changes hands at roughly $36.05, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $36.05, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $19.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $36.05, Lightly Played $29.31, Moderately Played $23.55, Heavily Played $26.46, Damaged $19.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Underground Expedition (Full Art) is valued near $167.50 — about 4.6x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Underground Expedition (Full Art): Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Underground Expedition (Full Art), the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Underground Expedition (Full Art) sits around $167.50 — roughly 4.6x 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 $50.00, CGC 10 $99.99, BGS 9.5 $30.02 — 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.
