Mary's Request: Rarity & Collectibility
Mary's Request in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #86/115 of the Unseen Forces 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 Mary's Request?
In 2026, a Near Mint Mary's Request (Uncommon, Unseen Forces #86/115) changes hands at roughly $64.99, 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 $64.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.36. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $64.99, Lightly Played $29.09, Moderately Played $11.73, Heavily Played $9.02, Damaged $3.36 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Mary's Request is valued near $600.00 — about 9.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Mary's Request: 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) Mary's Request sits around $600.00 — roughly 9.2x 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 $90.00, PSA 8 $31.00 — 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.
