Carbink: Rarity & Collectibility
Carbink 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 #47/108 of the XY - Roaring Skies 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?
In 2026, a Near Mint Carbink (Rare, XY - Roaring Skies #47/108) changes hands at roughly $0.48, 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 $0.48, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.24. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.48, Lightly Played $0.38, Moderately Played $0.39, Heavily Played $0.34, Damaged $0.24 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
