Mankey (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Mankey (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #049/078 of the SV1V: Violet 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 Mankey (Japanese)?

In 2026, a Near Mint Mankey (Japanese) (Common, SV1V: Violet ex #049/078) changes hands at roughly $0.11, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mankey (Japanese) is valued near $60.00 — about 545x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Mankey (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) Mankey (Japanese) sits around $60.00 — roughly 545x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
