Piers (Full Art): Rarity & Collectibility
Piers (Full Art) 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 #187/189 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 Piers (Full Art)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Piers (Full Art) (Ultra Rare, SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze #187/189) changes hands at roughly $2.27, 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 $2.27, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.87. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.27, Lightly Played $1.78, Moderately Played $1.78, Heavily Played $1.59, Damaged $0.87 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Piers (Full Art) is valued near $18.50 — about 8.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Piers (Full Art): Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Piers (Full Art), the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Piers (Full Art) sits around $18.50 — roughly 8.1x 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 $4.99, CGC 10 $14.50, CGC 9.5 $5.50 — 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.
