Melony: Rarity & Collectibility
Melony 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 #TG26/TG30 of the SWSH10: Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery 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 Melony?
In 2026, a Near Mint Melony (Ultra Rare, SWSH10: Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery #TG26/TG30) changes hands at roughly $4.40, 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 $4.40, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.40, Lightly Played $3.44, Moderately Played $3.19, Heavily Played $0.75, Damaged $2.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Melony is valued near $24.55 — about 5.6x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Melony: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Melony, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Melony sits around $24.55 — roughly 5.6x 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 $18.50, CGC 10 $42.00, CGC 9.5 $11.01 — 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.
