What Is Ho-Oh Worth?
Ho-Oh is a Rare card in the POP Series 5 set, card number 001/017. 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.
Ho-Oh Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ho-Oh (POP Series 5, 001/017) is worth around $21.50 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $21.50, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $3.86. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $21.50, Lightly Played $7.12, Moderately Played $4.88, Heavily Played $3.40, Damaged $3.86 — 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 $330.35 — about 15x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $65.00.
Is It Worth Grading Ho-Oh?
Grading Ho-Oh can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($21.50) and a PSA 10 ($330.35) is about $308.85 — a 15x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $65.00, PSA 8 $11.50. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
