Ninetales: Rarity & Collectibility
Ninetales in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #018/195 of the SWSH12: Silver Tempest 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 Ninetales?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ninetales (Uncommon, SWSH12: Silver Tempest #018/195) changes hands at roughly $0.36, 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 $0.36, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.01. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.36, Lightly Played $0.26, Moderately Played $0.20, Damaged $0.01 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ninetales is valued near $77.99 — about 217x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ninetales: 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) Ninetales sits around $77.99 — roughly 217x 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 CGC 10 $13.22 — 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.
