Great Tusk ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Great Tusk ex 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 #123/198 of the SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set 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 Great Tusk ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Great Tusk ex (Rare, SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set #123/198) changes hands at roughly $0.60, 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 $0.60, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.36. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.60, Lightly Played $0.62, Moderately Played $0.62, Heavily Played $0.90, Damaged $0.36 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Great Tusk ex is valued near $31.95 — about 53x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Great Tusk ex: 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) Great Tusk ex sits around $31.95 — roughly 53x 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 $10.00, CGC 10 $4.25, CGC 9.5 $4.25 — 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.
