Startling Megaphone: Rarity & Collectibility
Startling Megaphone in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #97/106 of the XY - Flashfire 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 Startling Megaphone?
In 2026, a Near Mint Startling Megaphone (Uncommon, XY - Flashfire #97/106) changes hands at roughly $0.82, 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 $0.82, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.25. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.82, Lightly Played $0.65, Moderately Played $0.56, Heavily Played $0.16, Damaged $0.25 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
