Crobat V - SWSH098: Rarity & Collectibility
Crobat V - SWSH098 in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #SWSH098 of the SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards 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 Crobat V - SWSH098?
In 2026, a Near Mint Crobat V - SWSH098 (Common, SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards #SWSH098) changes hands at roughly $1.49, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $1.49, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.71. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.49, Lightly Played $1.27, Moderately Played $0.83, Heavily Played $1.34, Damaged $0.71 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Crobat V - SWSH098 is valued near $205.12 — about 138x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Crobat V - SWSH098: 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) Crobat V - SWSH098 sits around $205.12 — roughly 138x 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 9.5 $10.20 — 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.
