Spidops ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Spidops 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 #243/198 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 Spidops ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Spidops ex (Ultra Rare, SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set #243/198) changes hands at roughly $6.75, 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 $6.75, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.08. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.75, Lightly Played $6.01, Moderately Played $5.20, Heavily Played $5.00, Damaged $3.08 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Spidops ex is valued near $86.00 — about 13x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Spidops ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Spidops ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Spidops ex sits around $86.00 — 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 $15.50, CGC 10 $30.00, CGC 9.5 $14.50 — 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.
