Pinsir: Rarity & Collectibility
Pinsir 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 #168/167 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 Pinsir?
In 2026, a Near Mint Pinsir (Ultra Rare, SV06: Twilight Masquerade #168/167) changes hands at roughly $10.25, 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 $10.25, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.43. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $10.25, Lightly Played $9.74, Moderately Played $7.03, Heavily Played $6.04, Damaged $5.43 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Pinsir is valued near $95.00 — about 9.3x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Pinsir: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Pinsir, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Pinsir sits around $95.00 — roughly 9.3x 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 $20.00, CGC 10 $27.00, CGC 9.5 $44.99 — 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.
