Briar: Rarity & Collectibility
Briar 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 #171/142 of the SV07: Stellar Crown 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 Briar?
In 2026, a Near Mint Briar (Ultra Rare, SV07: Stellar Crown #171/142) changes hands at roughly $12.21, 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 $12.21, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $10.88. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $12.21, Lightly Played $12.19, Moderately Played $12.53, Heavily Played $11.19, Damaged $10.88 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Briar is valued near $55.00 — about 4.5x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Briar: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Briar, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Briar sits around $55.00 — roughly 4.5x 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 $23.99, CGC 10 $25.99, CGC 9.5 $8.06 — 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.
