Snorlax VMAX: Rarity & Collectibility
Snorlax VMAX in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #142/202 of the SWSH01: Sword & Shield Base Set 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 Snorlax VMAX?
In 2026, a Near Mint Snorlax VMAX (Ultra Rare, SWSH01: Sword & Shield Base Set #142/202) changes hands at roughly $44.28, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $44.28, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $19.44. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $44.28, Lightly Played $37.86, Moderately Played $33.62, Heavily Played $28.30, Damaged $19.44 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Snorlax VMAX is valued near $160.00 — about 3.6x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Snorlax VMAX: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Snorlax VMAX, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Snorlax VMAX sits around $160.00 — roughly 3.6x 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 $57.00, CGC 10 $215.73, CGC 9.5 $68.51 — 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.
