Drapion V: Rarity & Collectibility
Drapion V 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 #118/196 of the SWSH11: Lost Origin 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 Drapion V?
In 2026, a Near Mint Drapion V (Ultra Rare, SWSH11: Lost Origin #118/196) changes hands at roughly $0.70, 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 $0.70, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.70, Lightly Played $0.58, Moderately Played $0.63, Heavily Played $0.61, Damaged $1.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Drapion V is valued near $49.50 — about 71x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Drapion V: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Drapion V, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Drapion V sits around $49.50 — roughly 71x 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 $7.50, CGC 10 $15.50 — 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.
