Penny (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Penny (Japanese) 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 #100/078 of the SV1S: Scarlet ex 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 Penny (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Penny (Japanese) (Rare, SV1S: Scarlet ex #100/078) changes hands at roughly $4.81, 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 $4.81, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $13.05. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.81, Lightly Played $6.50, Damaged $13.05 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Penny (Japanese) is valued near $48.27 — about 10x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Penny (Japanese): 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) Penny (Japanese) sits around $48.27 — roughly 10x 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 $31.99, CGC 10 $51.00, CGC 9.5 $20.50 — 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.
