Which print variants of 86 exist, and what do they cost?
Poké Ball 86 is on record in 2 print finishes — Normal and Reverse Holofoil — and each one carries its own price, so which copy you are buying decides what it is worth.
HolofoilNo price record
The artwork itself is foiled
Reverse HolofoilThis card
The border around the artwork is foiled
Normal$0.47
Reverse Holofoil$19.58
Both panes are the same card, and the difference is simply where the light sits — that is how a finish is identified in the hand. The price beside each one follows that difference. If you have motion reduced on your device the tilt stops and only the light remains.
On cards that were given several finishes the gap is wide — an early 1st Edition print can run five to eight times the plain one. Same artwork, same number, and the price is decided by a single mark under the picture.
Poké Ball 86 is one of those cards: it is on record in 2 finishes — Normal and Reverse Holofoil, and those records run from $0.47 to $19.58. Which finish a listing is offering decides most of what the copy is worth, so it is the first thing to check before comparing prices.
Who illustrated Poké Ball 86?
K. Hoshiba is credited on 7 cards in this archive. The prints above are the ones that currently carry the highest prices, which is the quickest way to see the kind of card this artist tends to be given.
An illustrator is a way of sorting cards, not a reason for their price. Buying another card by the same hand does not carry the price across — what makes the price is the Pokémon, the rarity and the year, and the numbers for that sit in the ranking section.
Where is Poké Ball 86 cheapest to buy — the total across marketplaces

Each bar is how much more you pay than the cheapest total — the longer the bar, the more it costs. The asking prices are almost identical, so only the total tells you where to buy.
The cheapest total is $248.00 at eBay, and the dearest of the marketplaces that quote a total is $258.40 — a spread of $10.40 on a card whose asking prices sit within $0.27 of each other. Shipping, not the sticker price, is what decides it.
A price quoted in euros moves with the exchange rate, and an order that crosses a border can pick up import duty on arrival, so a European total can change place between one day and the next.

Read on August 14, 2026. A listing price is what a seller asks; the market price is what buyers paid.
Poké Ball 86 price spread on TCGplayer
The gap between the cheapest copy on sale and what buyers actually settled at is $16.59. That gap is the room you have to negotiate or to wait out — the market price is the honest middle, and the lowest listing is one seller, on one day, in one condition.
Prices here are for the card alone. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller, and on cross-border orders they can move the order of the marketplaces around.

The figures from the sections above, tied together once more.
What makes the price of Poké Ball
- Poké Ball — the Pokémon this card is, and the group it is ranked inside
- Uncommon — Ruby & Sapphire, so supply came from how many packs of that set were opened, at the rate this rarity is inserted
- Illustrated by K. Hoshiba — a sorting axis, not a price driver
- Item — the class it was printed as, which is the group its price is measured against
What holds the price where it is
- It sits at 100% of its own 1-year range, between $3.32 and $19.58 — priced where it has usually been
- Legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded only, so it is not bought to fill a tournament deck
- 381 daily readings stand behind every figure above

Both lists are recalculated once a day, after the source archive is refreshed — the readings compared here are August 13, 2026 against August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 are left out of the ranking, because a one-cent move on a card worth a few cents becomes a double-digit percentage and would bury everything else.
