Pokémon JP card holo, reverse holo and foil finishes
The same card is printed in several finishes — normal, holofoil, reverse holo, first edition — and each one has its own market price. Here is every finish in Pokémon (Japan), how many priced printings carry it, and what a typical one costs.
| Finish | Printings priced | Median | Top card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 9,087 | $0.51 | $680.00 |
| Holofoil | 7,858 | $2.18 | $1,299.99 |
| 1st Edition | 2,927 | $3.25 | $196.64 |
| Unlimited | 1,321 | $2.99 | $300.00 |
| 1st Edition Holofoil | 869 | $13.49 | $500.00 |
| Unlimited Holofoil | 324 | $13.50 | $650.00 |
Why the finish matters
A finish is the physical treatment of the print run: holofoil on the art, reverse holo on the frame, a first-edition stamp, etched or borderless foils. Collectors pay for the scarcer treatment, so the same card and number can be worth ten times more in one finish than another. Open a finish to see every printing that carries it and the premium it commands over the cheapest other version of the same card.
