Iron Valiant ex: Rarity & Collectibility

Iron Valiant 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 #249/182 of the SV04: Paradox Rift 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 Iron Valiant ex?

In 2026, a Near Mint Iron Valiant ex (Ultra Rare, SV04: Paradox Rift #249/182) changes hands at roughly $21.03, 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 $21.03, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $14.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $21.03, Lightly Played $19.34, Moderately Played $18.79, Heavily Played $18.12, Damaged $14.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Iron Valiant ex is valued near $85.00 — about 4.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Iron Valiant ex: Gem Mint & Population

For a chase card like Iron Valiant ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Iron Valiant ex sits around $85.00 — 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 $28.00, CGC 10 $46.00, CGC 9.5 $102.00 — 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.
