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 #064/064 of the SM11a: Remix Bout 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, SM11a: Remix Bout #064/064) changes hands at roughly $5.19, 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 $5.19, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.19, Lightly Played $1.00, Moderately Played $1.00, Damaged $0.25 — 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 $45.00 — about 8.7x 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 $45.00 — roughly 8.7x 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 $23.34 — 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.
