Vaporeon (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Vaporeon (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 #134/165 of the SV2a: Pokemon Card 151 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 Vaporeon (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Vaporeon (Japanese) (Rare, SV2a: Pokemon Card 151 #134/165) changes hands at roughly $0.22, 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 $0.22, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.04. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.22, Lightly Played $0.24, Damaged $0.04 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Vaporeon (Japanese) is valued near $48.90 — about 222x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Vaporeon (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) Vaporeon (Japanese) sits around $48.90 — roughly 222x 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 CGC 10 $20.00 — 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.
