Dark Gloom: Rarity & Collectibility

Dark Gloom in its sought-after Unlimited variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #36/82 of the Team Rocket 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 Dark Gloom?

In 2026, a Near Mint Dark Gloom (Uncommon, Team Rocket #36/82) changes hands at roughly $2.44, 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 $2.44, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.38. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.44, Lightly Played $0.94, Moderately Played $0.66, Heavily Played $0.62, Damaged $0.38 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Dark Gloom is valued near $54.00 — about 22x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.

Graded Dark Gloom: 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) Dark Gloom sits around $54.00 — roughly 22x 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 $25.44, CGC 10 $40.00, CGC 9.5 $20.00 — 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.
