Smeargle: Rarity & Collectibility
Smeargle in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #48/115 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 Smeargle?
In 2026, a Near Mint Smeargle (Uncommon, Unseen Forces #48/115) changes hands at roughly $40.98, 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 $40.98, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $3.74. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $40.98, Lightly Played $20.73, Moderately Played $12.15, Heavily Played $7.98, Damaged $3.74 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Smeargle is valued near $2,245 — about 55x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Smeargle: 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) Smeargle sits around $2,245 — roughly 55x 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 $50.00, CGC 10 $150.00, CGC 9.5 $60.00 — 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.
