Ting-Lu ex (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Ting-Lu ex (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 #088/071 of the SV2D: Clay Burst 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 Ting-Lu ex (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ting-Lu ex (Japanese) (Rare, SV2D: Clay Burst #088/071) changes hands at roughly $1.05, 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 $1.05, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.84. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.05, Lightly Played $1.00, Damaged $1.84 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ting-Lu ex (Japanese) is valued near $30.00 — about 29x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ting-Lu ex (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) Ting-Lu ex (Japanese) sits around $30.00 — roughly 29x 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 $21.50, CGC 9.5 $3.25 — 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.
