What Is Ho-Oh V (Japanese) Worth?
Ho-Oh V (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the S11a: Incandescent Arcana set, card number 055/068. 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.
Ho-Oh V (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ho-Oh V (Japanese) (S11a: Incandescent Arcana, 055/068) is worth around $1.87 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.87, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $1.09. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.87, Lightly Played $1.06, Moderately Played $1.09 — 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 $87.95 — about 47x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $7.50.
Is It Worth Grading Ho-Oh V (Japanese)?
Grading Ho-Oh V (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.87) and a PSA 10 ($87.95) is about $86.08 — a 47x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $7.50, CGC 10 $10.50, CGC 9.5 $13.00. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
