Mantine - SWSH026: Rarity & Collectibility
Mantine - SWSH026 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 #SWSH026 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 Mantine - SWSH026?
In 2026, a Near Mint Mantine - SWSH026 (Common, SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards #SWSH026) changes hands at roughly $1.41, 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 $1.41, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.41, Lightly Played $1.14, Moderately Played $1.09, Heavily Played $0.61, Damaged $0.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mantine - SWSH026 is valued near $132.44 — about 94x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Mantine - SWSH026: 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) Mantine - SWSH026 sits around $132.44 — roughly 94x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
