Metagross (50): Rarity & Collectibility
Metagross (50) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #50/98 of the XY - Ancient Origins 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 Metagross (50)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metagross (50) (Rare, XY - Ancient Origins #50/98) changes hands at roughly $7.47, 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 $7.47, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.58. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $7.47, Lightly Played $4.43, Moderately Played $2.49, Heavily Played $2.16, Damaged $2.58 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Metagross (50) is valued near $500.00 — about 67x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Metagross (50): 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) Metagross (50) sits around $500.00 — roughly 67x 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 $70.00, PSA 8 $19.50 — 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.
