Black Kyurem ex: Rarity & Collectibility

Black Kyurem ex in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #048/191 of the SV08: Surging Sparks 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 Black Kyurem ex?

In 2026, a Near Mint Black Kyurem ex (Rare, SV08: Surging Sparks #048/191) changes hands at roughly $0.75, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.75, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.38. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.75, Lightly Played $0.67, Moderately Played $0.52, Heavily Played $0.75, Damaged $0.38 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Black Kyurem ex is valued near $41.64 — about 56x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Black Kyurem ex: Gem Mint & Population

Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Black Kyurem ex sits around $41.64 — roughly 56x 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 $15.50, CGC 10 $12.99, BGS 9.5 $10.50 — 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.
