Professor Sycamore: Rarity & Collectibility
Professor Sycamore in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #122/146 of the XY Base Set 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 Professor Sycamore?
In 2026, a Near Mint Professor Sycamore (Uncommon, XY Base Set #122/146) changes hands at roughly $0.46, 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 $0.46, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.23. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.46, Lightly Played $0.39, Moderately Played $0.41, Heavily Played $0.31, Damaged $0.23 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
