What Is Beartic (Japanese) Worth?
Beartic (Japanese) (1st_Edition_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the BW1: Black Collection set, card number 018/053. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Beartic (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Beartic (Japanese) (BW1: Black Collection, 018/053) is worth around $1.16 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.16, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $1.75. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.16, Lightly Played $2.99, Moderately Played $1.75 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $129.99 — about 112x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value.
