Pinsir: Rarity & Collectibility
Pinsir in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #3/162 of the XY - BREAKthrough 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 Pinsir?
In 2026, a Near Mint Pinsir (Uncommon, XY - BREAKthrough #3/162) changes hands at roughly $0.40, 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 $0.40, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.40, Lightly Played $0.38, Moderately Played $0.24, Heavily Played $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Pinsir is valued near $23.16 — about 58x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Pinsir: 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) Pinsir sits around $23.16 — roughly 58x 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. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
