Alakazam EX (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Alakazam EX (Japanese) is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #088/078 of the XY10: Awakening Psychic King 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.

Graded Alakazam EX (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Alakazam EX (Japanese), the high-grade market is where the real money lives. Top grades such as PSA 10, CGC 10 and BGS define the ceiling for Alakazam EX (Japanese), and how thin that gem-mint population is decides how high it climbs. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $355.00, CGC 10 $675.00, PSA 8 $134.59 — 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.
