Penny: Rarity & Collectibility
Penny in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #239/091 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 Penny?
In 2026, a Near Mint Penny (Ultra Rare, SV: Paldean Fates #239/091) changes hands at roughly $21.56, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $21.56, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $11.54. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $21.56, Lightly Played $15.85, Moderately Played $13.00, Heavily Played $11.18, Damaged $11.54 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Penny is valued near $155.00 — about 7.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Penny: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Penny, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Penny sits around $155.00 — roughly 7.2x 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 $34.99, CGC 10 $44.33, CGC 9.5 $19.05 — 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.
