Swablu: Rarity & Collectibility
Swablu 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 #213/182 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 Swablu?
In 2026, a Near Mint Swablu (Ultra Rare, SV04: Paradox Rift #213/182) changes hands at roughly $18.76, 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 $18.76, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $10.62. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $18.76, Lightly Played $12.98, Moderately Played $8.27, Heavily Played $6.73, Damaged $10.62 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Swablu is valued near $74.50 — about 4.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Swablu: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Swablu, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Swablu sits around $74.50 — 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 $30.00, CGC 10 $150.00, CGC 9.5 $14.99 — 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.
