Honchkrow: Rarity & Collectibility
Honchkrow 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 #79/145 of the SM - Guardians Rising 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 Honchkrow?
In 2026, a Near Mint Honchkrow (Rare, SM - Guardians Rising #79/145) changes hands at roughly $0.44, 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 $0.44, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.12. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.44, Lightly Played $0.34, Moderately Played $0.29, Heavily Played $0.20, Damaged $0.12 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
