Infernape: Rarity & Collectibility
Infernape 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 #173/167 of the SV06: Twilight Masquerade 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 Infernape?
In 2026, a Near Mint Infernape (Ultra Rare, SV06: Twilight Masquerade #173/167) changes hands at roughly $9.92, 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 $9.92, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.77. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $9.92, Lightly Played $8.77, Moderately Played $7.12, Heavily Played $8.49, Damaged $5.77 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Infernape is valued near $153.78 — about 16x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Infernape: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Infernape, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Infernape sits around $153.78 — roughly 16x 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 $28.50, CGC 10 $45.00, CGC 9.5 $20.00 — 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.
