What Is Vaporeon Worth?
Vaporeon is a Rare card in the POP Series 3 set, card number 006/017. 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.
Vaporeon Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Vaporeon (POP Series 3, 006/017) is worth around $24.89 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $24.89, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $6.86. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $24.89, Lightly Played $10.96, Moderately Played $8.11, Heavily Played $7.95, Damaged $6.86 — 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 $38.00 — about 1.5x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $75.00.
Is It Worth Grading Vaporeon?
Grading Vaporeon can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($24.89) and a PSA 10 ($38.00) is about $13.11 — a 1.5x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $75.00, CGC 10 $12.50, PSA 8 $8.49. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
