Starmie (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Starmie (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #025/088 of the Split Earth 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 Starmie (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Starmie (Japanese) (Uncommon, Split Earth #025/088) changes hands at roughly $7.99, 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 $7.99, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $4.49. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $7.99, Lightly Played $6.64, Moderately Played $4.49 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Starmie (Japanese) is valued near $95.00 — about 12x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Starmie (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) Starmie (Japanese) sits around $95.00 — 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 $23.16 — 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.
