Ting-Lu ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Ting-Lu ex in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a Secret Rare — a top-of-the-set short print and one of the toughest cards to land in the wild. Cataloged as Secret Rare #244/091 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 Ting-Lu ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ting-Lu ex (Secret Rare, SV: Paldean Fates #244/091) changes hands at roughly $5.15, 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 $5.15, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.15, Lightly Played $4.51, Moderately Played $3.99, Heavily Played $2.00, Damaged $3.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ting-Lu ex is valued near $90.00 — about 17x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ting-Lu ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Ting-Lu ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Ting-Lu ex sits around $90.00 — roughly 17x 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 $21.00, CGC 10 $19.50, CGC 9.5 $12.50 — 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.
