Blacephalon: Rarity & Collectibility
Blacephalon in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #104/236 of the SM - Cosmic Eclipse 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 Blacephalon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Blacephalon (Holo Rare, SM - Cosmic Eclipse #104/236) changes hands at roughly $6.08, 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 $6.08, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.08, Lightly Played $4.67, Moderately Played $3.46, Heavily Played $2.60, Damaged $1.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Blacephalon is valued near $199.99 — about 33x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Blacephalon: 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) Blacephalon sits around $199.99 — roughly 33x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
