Carbink (50): Rarity & Collectibility
Carbink (50) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #50/124 of the XY - Fates Collide 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 Carbink (50)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Carbink (50) (Common, XY - Fates Collide #50/124) changes hands at roughly $0.31, 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 $0.31, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.05. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.31, Lightly Played $0.19, Moderately Played $0.14, Heavily Played $0.20, Damaged $0.05 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Carbink (50) is valued near $67.00 — about 216x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Carbink (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) Carbink (50) sits around $67.00 — roughly 216x 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.

Collector Outlook for Carbink (50)
As a Common, Carbink (50) earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it.
