Zapdos ex - 049: Rarity & Collectibility

Zapdos ex - 049 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #049 of the SV: Scarlet & Violet Promo Cards 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 Zapdos ex - 049?

In 2026, a Near Mint Zapdos ex - 049 (Common, SV: Scarlet & Violet Promo Cards #049) changes hands at roughly $0.84, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.84, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.84, Lightly Played $0.76, Moderately Played $0.80, Heavily Played $0.58, Damaged $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Zapdos ex - 049 is valued near $114.95 — about 137x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Zapdos ex - 049: 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) Zapdos ex - 049 sits around $114.95 — roughly 137x 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 $11.33, CGC 10 $180.00, CGC 9.5 $9.31 — 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.
