Meowth (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Meowth (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #013/026 of the smD: Ash vs Team Rocket Deck Kit 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 Meowth (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Meowth (Japanese) (Common, smD: Ash vs Team Rocket Deck Kit #013/026) changes hands at roughly $20.00, 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 $20.00, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $10.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $20.00, Lightly Played $36.52, Moderately Played $10.24, Heavily Played $10.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Meowth (Japanese) is valued near $234.75 — about 12x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Meowth (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) Meowth (Japanese) sits around $234.75 — roughly 12x 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 $132.23 — 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.
