Arctibax: Rarity & Collectibility
Arctibax 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 #209/193 of the SV02: Paldea Evolved 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 Arctibax?
In 2026, a Near Mint Arctibax (Ultra Rare, SV02: Paldea Evolved #209/193) changes hands at roughly $12.28, 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 $12.28, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.16. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $12.28, Lightly Played $11.21, Moderately Played $10.07, Heavily Played $8.01, Damaged $5.16 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Arctibax is valued near $159.99 — about 13x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Arctibax: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Arctibax, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Arctibax sits around $159.99 — 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 $21.00, CGC 10 $115.00, CGC 9.5 $7.28 — 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.
