What Is First Ticket Worth?
First Ticket (Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Dragon Vault, card number 19/20. 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.
First Ticket Value Breakdown
As of 2026, First Ticket (Dragon Vault, 19/20) is worth around $0.79 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.79, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.29. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.79, Lightly Played $0.48, Moderately Played $0.44, Heavily Played $0.47, Damaged $0.29 — 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 $212.46 — about 269x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $23.00.
Is It Worth Grading First Ticket?
Grading First Ticket can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.79) and a PSA 10 ($212.46) is about $211.67 — a 269x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $23.00, PSA 8 $14.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
