Barbaracle · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Barbaracle card
Numbered 107 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Barbaracle is a Rare Holo, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 130 HP.
It evolves from Binacle, so Barbaracle is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Barbaracle Pokédex entry reads: "Seven Binacle come together to form one Barbaracle. The Binacle that serves as the head gives orders to those serving as the limbs."
What is Barbaracle worth?
Barbaracle is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Lost Origin's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Lost Origin holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Barbaracle before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Barbaracle comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Barbaracle can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Barbaracle
For Barbaracle, variant comes before condition. Confirm the exact rarity tier on the Barbaracle, since the spread between tiers is wide. Demand a clear photo of the Barbaracle holo for any raw purchase.
