Welder (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Welder (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #106/095 of the SM10: Double Blaze 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 Welder (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Welder (Japanese) (Rare, SM10: Double Blaze #106/095) changes hands at roughly $34.04, 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 $34.04, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $25.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $34.04, Lightly Played $21.98, Moderately Played $25.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Welder (Japanese) is valued near $64.99 — about 1.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Welder (Japanese): 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) Welder (Japanese) sits around $64.99 — roughly 1.9x 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 $28.00, CGC 10 $56.99, PSA 8 $30.32 — 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.
