Venusaur EX - XY28: Rarity & Collectibility
Venusaur EX - XY28 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 #XY28 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 Venusaur EX - XY28?
In 2026, a Near Mint Venusaur EX - XY28 (Common, XY Promos #XY28) changes hands at roughly $4.51, 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 $4.51, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.88. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.51, Lightly Played $2.48, Moderately Played $1.85, Heavily Played $0.94, Damaged $0.88 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Venusaur EX - XY28 is valued near $76.00 — about 17x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Venusaur EX - XY28: 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) Venusaur EX - XY28 sits around $76.00 — roughly 17x 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 $25.00, PSA 8 $19.99 — 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.
