Shining Celebi - SM79: Rarity & Collectibility

Shining Celebi - SM79 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #SM79 of the SM Promos 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 Shining Celebi - SM79?

In 2026, a Near Mint Shining Celebi - SM79 (Common, SM Promos #SM79) changes hands at roughly $28.61, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $28.61, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $9.87. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $28.61, Lightly Played $20.54, Moderately Played $14.66, Heavily Played $11.52, Damaged $9.87 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Shining Celebi - SM79 is valued near $675.00 — about 24x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Shining Celebi - SM79: 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) Shining Celebi - SM79 sits around $675.00 — roughly 24x 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 $70.00, CGC 10 $450.00, BGS 9.5 $30.00 — 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.
