Ninetales: Rarity & Collectibility
Ninetales in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #029/197 of the SV03: Obsidian Flames 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 Ninetales?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ninetales (Uncommon, SV03: Obsidian Flames #029/197) changes hands at roughly $0.38, 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 $0.38, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.23. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.38, Lightly Played $0.30, Moderately Played $0.23 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
