Gym Heroes Pop Report (2026): PSA 10 Population for Every Card, Both Printings
On this page
There are 1,608 PSA 10 Gym Heroes cards in existence across the 16 printings with resolved population chains — trainer-owned cards with shockingly thin gem supply: Sabrina's Gengar has 34 Unlimited PSA 10s, Blaine's Moltres just 27. This page is the full census — every resolved count in both printings, with the gem-mint price next to each — and it holds the best "Unlimited is rarer than 1st Edition" case study in the hobby. PSA's own population report sits behind a login; ours is free, built on exact GemRate population chains, and refreshed monthly. It is one chapter of the full WOTC pop report — and the cost side of the same data lives in what a complete PSA 10 Gym Heroes set costs.
How Many PSA 10 Gym Heroes Cards Exist?
1,608 PSA 10s across the 16 resolved printings — 14 of those counts are exact GemRate chains and the other 2 are modeled and marked †. The remaining 16 of our 32 tracked printings (mostly 1st Editions) have no resolved chain yet, so the true set-wide census is somewhat higher — those cards are excluded below rather than shown as fake zeros. What did resolve is a $4,333,991 gem market, scarcest first, and the pattern is the headline: the eight thinnest counts in the set are all Unlimited printings.
Are Unlimited Gym Heroes Cards Rarer Than 1st Edition?
Yes — in every Gym Heroes matchup where both printings have resolved counts, the Unlimited is the rarer gem: Sabrina's Gengar 34 Unlimited vs 114 1st Edition (3.4× scarcer), The Rocket's Trap 72 vs 204, Erika's Dragonair 82 vs 209. The mechanism is pure submission bias: the 1st Edition stamp made cards worth grading for twenty-five years, while Unlimited copies went to binders and playgrounds unslabbed. The stamp got graded; the no-stamp got played. Side by side — the orange number is the rarer printing:
| # | Card | 1st Ed pop 10 | Unlimited pop 10 | Rarer printing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 |  Blaine'S Moltres | — | 27 | — |
| #2 |  Brock'S Rhydon | — | 50 | — |
| #3 |  Erika'S Clefable | 81† | — | — |
| #4 |  Erika'S Dragonair | 209 | 82 | Unlimited |
| #5 |  Erika'S Vileplume | — | 76 | — |
| #6 |  Surge'S Electabuzz | — | 170 | — |
| #7 |  Surge'S Fearow | 95 | — | — |
| #9 |  Misty'S Seadra | — | 60 | — |
| #11 |  Rocket'S Hitmonchan | 200 | — | — |
| #12 |  Rocket'S Moltres | — | 65 | — |
| #13 |  Rocket'S Scyther | — | 69† | — |
| #14 |  Sabrina'S Gengar | 114 | 34 | Unlimited |
| #19 |  The Rocket'S Trap | 204 | 72 | Unlimited |
Read the price column of the cost tableagainst this one and the market's tell shows: the Unlimited Sabrina's Gengar trades at $15,000 against $16,500 for the 1st Edition — a single-digit-percent discount for a card with 3.4× less gem supply. On the marquee cards, collectors have quietly started pricing the census instead of the stamp. Even the census itself is lopsided: 10 of the 16 resolved counts are Unlimited versus 6 for 1st Edition. Every WOTC set has a version of this story — the full WOTC pop report ranks them — but Gym Heroes is its cleanest example, and the Gym Heroes investing guide turns it into a watchlist.
How Many PSA 10 Sabrina's Gengars Are There?
114 1st Edition and 34 Unlimited — 148PSA 10 Sabrina's Gengars in existence, total. The Unlimited is the strange one: it is the most-graded card in the entire set, and still one of its rarest gems. The full grade pyramid:
8,407 gradings, 34 tens — a 0.40% gem rate, among the most brutal of the WOTC era. The 1st Edition copy gems at 3.3% by comparison: the stamped print run was handled like an investment from day one, the Unlimited like a toy. That is why the unstamped card carries a $15,000 price tag, live here:

The Unlimited Blaine's Moltres, at pop 27 — the thinnest resolved gem count in the set, at $6,000. Only 27 tens have ever come out of 4,787 gradings (0.56%), and the honest footnote is that its fair market value rests on a single 2026 sale — a pop-27 card simply does not trade often enough to have a deep market. Behind it sit the pop-34 Unlimited Sabrina's Gengar and the pop-50 Unlimited Brock's Rhydon. The rarest card in the set, live:

Gem rate is the other half of a pop report: not how many 10s exist, but what fraction of all submissions earned one. Gym Heroes has 2cards under 1% — both Unlimited, both already the set's two most expensive unstamped cards:
| # | Card | Gem rate | PSA 10s / total graded | PSA 10 price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Sabrina'S Gengar #14 | 0.4% | 34 / 8,407 | $15,000 |
| 2 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Blaine'S Moltres #1 | 0.6% | 27 / 4,787 | $6,000 |
| 3 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Rocket'S Moltres #12 | 1.6% | 65 / 3,944 | $653 |
| 4 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Erika'S Dragonair #4 | 2.2% | 82 / 3,692 | $1,424 |
| 5 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Erika'S Vileplume #5 | 2.3% | 76 / 3,246 | $578 |
| 6 | | 2000 Gym Heroes 1st Edition Sabrina'S Gengar #14 | 3.3% | 114 / 3,451 | $16,500 |
| 7 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Misty'S Seadra #9 | 3.7% | 60 / 1,639 | $815 |
| 8 | | 2000 Gym Heroes 1st Edition Surge'S Fearow #7 | 4.9% | 95 / 1,935 | $4,320 |
| 9 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited The Rocket'S Trap #19 | 5.3% | 72 / 1,364 | $348 |
| 10 | | 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Surge'S Electabuzz #6 | 7.4% | 170 / 2,308 | $252 |
Every card on that list under a few percent is a card where the PSA 10 is the trophy and the PSA 9 is the market. If you're weighing a raw submission, the PSA 10 value calculator turns these gem rates into expected value.
Is Gym Heroes Scarcity Priced In?
Partially — more than in most WOTC sets, and the spread is still wide. Price divided by PSA 10 population is what the market pays per unit of gem supply:
| Card | PSA 10 price | PSA 10 pop | Price per pop unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Sabrina'S Gengar #14 | $15,000 | 34 | $441 |
| 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Blaine'S Moltres #1 | $6,000 | 27 | $222 |
| 2000 Gym Heroes 1st Edition Sabrina'S Gengar #14 | $16,500 | 114 | $145 |
| 2000 Gym Heroes 1st Edition Surge'S Fearow #7 | $4,320 | 95 | $45 |
| 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Brock'S Rhydon #2 | $900 | 50 | $18 |
| 2000 Gym Heroes Unlimited Erika'S Dragonair #4 | $1,424 | 82 | $17 |
The Unlimited Sabrina's Gengar costs $441per unit of supply and the Unlimited Blaine's Moltres $222 — the two scarcest cards are correctly at the top, which is rarer than it sounds. But the pop-50 Unlimited Brock's Rhydon sits at $18 per gem, and the pop-170Unlimited Surge's Electabuzz at $1 — census-rare cards still priced like commons. The full ranked list across every WOTC set is in the 50 rarest WOTC cards.
