Mudsdale (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Mudsdale (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 #078/071 of the SV5K: Wild Force 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 Mudsdale (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Mudsdale (Japanese) (Rare, SV5K: Wild Force #078/071) changes hands at roughly $1.85, 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 $1.85, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.79. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.85, Lightly Played $1.41, Moderately Played $1.28, Heavily Played $0.79 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mudsdale (Japanese) is valued near $36.07 — about 19x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Mudsdale (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) Mudsdale (Japanese) sits around $36.07 — roughly 19x 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 $19.99, CGC 10 $10.00, BGS 9.5 $7.00 — 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.
