Shaymin EX (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Shaymin EX (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #087/078 of the XY6: Emerald Break 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.

We are still gathering live data for Shaymin EX (Japanese) (Rare, XY6: Emerald Break #087/078) — its collectibility profile will update here as marketplace sales come in.
Graded Shaymin EX (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. Top grades such as PSA 10, CGC 10 and BGS define the ceiling for Shaymin 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 $35.00, PSA 8 $41.48 — 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.
