Gym Badge (Blaine): Rarity & Collectibility
Gym Badge (Blaine) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #XY209 of the XY Promos 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 Gym Badge (Blaine)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Gym Badge (Blaine) (Common, XY Promos #XY209) changes hands at roughly $12.11, 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 $12.11, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $6.50. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $12.11, Lightly Played $10.43, Moderately Played $8.15, Heavily Played $7.79, Damaged $6.50 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Gym Badge (Blaine) is valued near $159.95 — about 13x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Gym Badge (Blaine): 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) Gym Badge (Blaine) sits around $159.95 — roughly 13x 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 $32.11, PSA 8 $19.50 — 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.
