Shining Ho-Oh - SM70: Rarity & Collectibility
Shining Ho-Oh - SM70 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 #SM70 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 Ho-Oh - SM70?
In 2026, a Near Mint Shining Ho-Oh - SM70 (Common, SM Promos #SM70) changes hands at roughly $21.34, 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 $21.34, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.78. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $21.34, Lightly Played $14.08, Moderately Played $9.34, Heavily Played $7.46, Damaged $5.78 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Shining Ho-Oh - SM70 is valued near $335.00 — about 16x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Shining Ho-Oh - SM70: 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 Ho-Oh - SM70 sits around $335.00 — roughly 16x 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 $38.11, CGC 10 $89.99, CGC 9.5 $59.95 — 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.
