What Is Altaria Worth?
Altaria (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Dragon, card number 2/97. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Altaria Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Altaria (Dragon, 2/97) is worth around $27.49 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $27.49, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $4.04. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $27.49, Lightly Played $17.68, Moderately Played $16.86, Heavily Played $5.81, Damaged $4.04 — 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 $239.99 — about 8.7x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $40.50.
Is It Worth Grading Altaria?
Grading Altaria can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($27.49) and a PSA 10 ($239.99) is about $212.50 — a 8.7x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $40.50, CGC 10 $51.00, PSA 8 $39.99. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
