Old PC: Rarity & Collectibility
Old PC in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #164/189 of the SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze 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 Old PC?
In 2026, a Near Mint Old PC (Uncommon, SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze #164/189) changes hands at roughly $0.25, 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 $0.25, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.08. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.25, Lightly Played $0.27, Moderately Played $0.08 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Old PC is valued near $19.99 — about 80x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Old PC: 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) Old PC sits around $19.99 — roughly 80x 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 8 $1.00 — 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.
