Professor Burnet: Rarity & Collectibility
Professor Burnet 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 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 Professor Burnet?
In 2026, a Near Mint Professor Burnet (Ultra Rare, SWSH12: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery #TG26/TG30) changes hands at roughly $3.28, 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 $3.28, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.15. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $3.28, Lightly Played $3.39, Moderately Played $3.34, Heavily Played $2.48, Damaged $2.15 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Professor Burnet is valued near $26.01 — about 7.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Professor Burnet: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Professor Burnet, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Professor Burnet sits around $26.01 — roughly 7.9x 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 $15.51, CGC 10 $8.50, CGC 9.5 $10.00 — 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.
