Golem ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Golem ex 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 #189/165 of the SV: Scarlet & Violet 151 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 Golem ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Golem ex (Ultra Rare, SV: Scarlet & Violet 151 #189/165) changes hands at roughly $8.68, 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 $8.68, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.81. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $8.68, Lightly Played $5.28, Moderately Played $6.13, Heavily Played $1.99, Damaged $3.81 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Golem ex is valued near $116.90 — about 13x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Golem ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Golem ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Golem ex sits around $116.90 — roughly 13x 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 $16.10, CGC 10 $11.50, CGC 9.5 $18.00 — 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.
