Spinarak: Rarity & Collectibility
Spinarak 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 #78/109 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 Spinarak?
In 2026, a Near Mint Spinarak (Common, Team Rocket Returns #78/109) changes hands at roughly $25.17, 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 $25.17, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $6.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $25.17, Lightly Played $16.73, Moderately Played $12.82, Heavily Played $6.74, Damaged $6.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Spinarak is valued near $349.99 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Spinarak: 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) Spinarak sits around $349.99 — roughly 14x 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 $44.99, PSA 8 $17.50 — 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.
