Xerosic's Machinations: Rarity & Collectibility
Xerosic's Machinations 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 #089/064 of the SV: Shrouded Fable 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 Xerosic's Machinations?
In 2026, a Near Mint Xerosic's Machinations (Ultra Rare, SV: Shrouded Fable #089/064) changes hands at roughly $6.49, 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 $6.49, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.37. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.49, Lightly Played $4.83, Moderately Played $3.52, Heavily Played $1.49, Damaged $1.37 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Xerosic's Machinations is valued near $26.00 — about 4.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Xerosic's Machinations: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Xerosic's Machinations, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Xerosic's Machinations sits around $26.00 — roughly 4.0x 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 $14.50, CGC 10 $80.00, PSA 8 $20.00 — 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.
