Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182: Rarity & Collectibility
Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182 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 #SWSH182 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 Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182?
In 2026, a Near Mint Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182 (Common, SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards #SWSH182) changes hands at roughly $79.65, 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 $79.65, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $41.20. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $79.65, Lightly Played $67.60, Moderately Played $63.87, Heavily Played $57.53, Damaged $41.20 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182 is valued near $680.00 — about 8.5x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182: 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) Vaporeon VMAX - SWSH182 sits around $680.00 — roughly 8.5x 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 $89.99, CGC 10 $210.00, CGC 9.5 $115.00 — 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.
