Metagross (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Metagross (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 #080/071 of the SV5M: Cyber Judge 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 Metagross (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metagross (Japanese) (Rare, SV5M: Cyber Judge #080/071) changes hands at roughly $6.25, 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 $6.25, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.25, Lightly Played $5.13, Moderately Played $4.99, Heavily Played $4.99, Damaged $3.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Metagross (Japanese) is valued near $48.00 — about 7.7x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Metagross (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) Metagross (Japanese) sits around $48.00 — roughly 7.7x 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 $33.58, CGC 10 $48.90, BGS 9.5 $29.00 — 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.
