Murkrow: Rarity & Collectibility
Murkrow 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 #181/091 of the SV: Paldean Fates 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 Murkrow?
In 2026, a Near Mint Murkrow (Rare, SV: Paldean Fates #181/091) changes hands at roughly $3.41, 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 $3.41, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $3.41, Lightly Played $2.81, Moderately Played $2.28, Heavily Played $3.84, Damaged $0.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Murkrow is valued near $47.47 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Murkrow: 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) Murkrow sits around $47.47 — roughly 14x 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 $15.00, CGC 10 $15.50 — 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.
