Skiploom: Rarity & Collectibility
Skiploom in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #49/109 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 Skiploom?
In 2026, a Near Mint Skiploom (Uncommon, Team Rocket Returns #49/109) changes hands at roughly $35.00, 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 $35.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $35.00, Lightly Played $14.81, Moderately Played $9.58, Heavily Played $7.20, Damaged $3.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Skiploom is valued near $205.00 — about 5.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Skiploom: 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) Skiploom sits around $205.00 — roughly 5.9x 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 $60.43, CGC 9.5 $30.00, PSA 8 $26.00 — 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.
