Maintenance: Rarity & Collectibility
Maintenance in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #79/108 of the XY - Evolutions 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 Maintenance?
In 2026, a Near Mint Maintenance (Uncommon, XY - Evolutions #79/108) changes hands at roughly $0.59, 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 $0.59, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.31. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.59, Lightly Played $0.45, Moderately Played $0.43, Heavily Played $0.42, Damaged $0.31 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Maintenance is valued near $92.00 — about 156x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Maintenance: 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) Maintenance sits around $92.00 — roughly 156x 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 $30.00, CGC 9.5 $3.75, PSA 8 $10.50 — 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.
