Malamar: Rarity & Collectibility
Malamar 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 #TG06/TG30 of the SWSH12: Silver Tempest 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 Malamar?
In 2026, a Near Mint Malamar (Ultra Rare, SWSH12: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery #TG06/TG30) changes hands at roughly $1.26, 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 $1.26, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.59. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.26, Lightly Played $1.47, Moderately Played $1.15, Heavily Played $0.78, Damaged $0.59 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Malamar is valued near $48.99 — about 39x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Malamar: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Malamar, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Malamar sits around $48.99 — roughly 39x 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 $15.50, CGC 10 $45.00, CGC 9.5 $10.19 — 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.
