Metagross (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Metagross (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #050/081 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 Metagross (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Metagross (Japanese) (Uncommon, XY7: Bandit Ring #050/081) changes hands at roughly $8.99, 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 $8.99, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $1.98. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $8.99, Lightly Played $7.07, Moderately Played $7.20, Heavily Played $1.98 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Metagross (Japanese) is valued near $65.00 — about 7.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Metagross (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) Metagross (Japanese) sits around $65.00 — roughly 7.2x 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 $15.00 — 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.
