What Is Raichu V (Japanese) Worth?
Raichu V (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the S9: Star Birth set, card number 034/100. 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.
Raichu V (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Raichu V (Japanese) (S9: Star Birth, 034/100) is worth around $1.09 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.09, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.40. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.09, Lightly Played $0.81, Moderately Played $1.00, Damaged $0.40 — 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 $24.50 — about 22x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $14.99.
