Manaphy: Rarity & Collectibility

Manaphy in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #42/156 of the SM - Ultra Prism 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 Manaphy?

In 2026, a Near Mint Manaphy (Uncommon, SM - Ultra Prism #42/156) changes hands at roughly $0.46, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors.

Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.46, Lightly Played $0.46, Moderately Played $0.39, Heavily Played $0.33, Damaged $0.15 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
