Entei (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Entei (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 #015/081 of the XY7: Bandit Ring 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 Entei (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Entei (Japanese) (Rare, XY7: Bandit Ring #015/081) changes hands at roughly $9.00, 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 $9.00, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $5.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $9.00, Lightly Played $0.99, Moderately Played $5.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Entei (Japanese) is valued near $67.80 — about 7.5x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Entei (Japanese): 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) Entei (Japanese) sits around $67.80 — roughly 7.5x 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 $15.90, CGC 10 $81.00, PSA 8 $9.50 — 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.
