Grimer: Rarity & Collectibility
Grimer in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #56/109 of the Team Rocket Returns 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 Grimer?
In 2026, a Near Mint Grimer (Common, Team Rocket Returns #56/109) changes hands at roughly $33.00, 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 $33.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $7.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $33.00, Lightly Played $28.28, Moderately Played $13.35, Heavily Played $6.98, Damaged $7.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Grimer is valued near $800.00 — about 24x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Grimer: 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) Grimer sits around $800.00 — roughly 24x 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 $145.00, CGC 10 $250.00, CGC 9.5 $49.99 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Grimer
As a Common, Grimer earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. Cards in this band from beloved sets tend to keep a loyal collector base over time. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Grimer on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
