Starmie: Rarity & Collectibility
Starmie 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 #119/091 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 Starmie?
In 2026, a Near Mint Starmie (Rare, SV: Paldean Fates #119/091) changes hands at roughly $5.11, 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 $5.11, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $4.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.11, Lightly Played $4.61, Moderately Played $4.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Starmie is valued near $75.00 — about 15x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Starmie: 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 sits around $75.00 — roughly 15x 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 $9.00, CGC 10 $39.99, CGC 9.5 $18.25 — 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.
