Entei: Rarity & Collectibility
Entei in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #020/163 of the SWSH05: Battle Styles 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 Entei?
In 2026, a Near Mint Entei (Holo Rare, SWSH05: Battle Styles #020/163) changes hands at roughly $0.32, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.32, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.26. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.32, Lightly Played $0.32, Moderately Played $0.30, Heavily Played $0.15, Damaged $0.26 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Entei is valued near $42.48 — about 133x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Entei: 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) Entei sits around $42.48 — roughly 133x 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 $14.99, CGC 9.5 $8.83, BGS 9.5 $19.99 — 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.
