Rocket's Entei ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Rocket's Entei ex 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 #97/109 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 Rocket's Entei ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Rocket's Entei ex (Ultra Rare, Team Rocket Returns #97/109) changes hands at roughly $499.99, 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 $499.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $119.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $499.99, Lightly Played $360.00, Moderately Played $354.55, Heavily Played $96.31, Damaged $119.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Rocket's Entei ex is valued near $4,700 — about 9.4x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Rocket's Entei ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Rocket's Entei ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Rocket's Entei ex sits around $4,700 — roughly 9.4x 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 $1,000, CGC 10 $1,300, PSA 8 $598.00 — 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.
