Houndoom (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Houndoom (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #070/092 of the The Town on No Map 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 Houndoom (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Houndoom (Japanese) (Rare, The Town on No Map #070/092) changes hands at roughly $29.99, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $29.99, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $20.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $29.99, Lightly Played $20.00, Heavily Played $20.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Houndoom (Japanese) is valued near $298.98 — about 10.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Houndoom (Japanese): 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) Houndoom (Japanese) sits around $298.98 — roughly 10.0x 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 $1,200, CGC 10 $93.51, PSA 8 $36.00 — 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.
