Starmie: Rarity & Collectibility
Starmie in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #055/172 of the SWSH09: Brilliant Stars 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 Starmie?
In 2026, a Near Mint Starmie (Uncommon, SWSH09: Brilliant Stars #055/172) changes hands at roughly $0.22, 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 $0.22, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.09. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.22, Lightly Played $0.21, Moderately Played $0.09 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
