Starmie: Rarity & Collectibility
Starmie in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #73/160 of the XY - Primal Clash 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 Starmie?
In 2026, a Near Mint Starmie (Rare, XY - Primal Clash #73/160) changes hands at roughly $0.63, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.63, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.15. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.63, Lightly Played $0.41, Moderately Played $0.31, Heavily Played $0.32, Damaged $0.15 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
