What Is Darkrai Worth?
Darkrai (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SM - Burning Shadows, card number 87/147. 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.
Darkrai Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Darkrai (SM - Burning Shadows, 87/147) is worth around $0.53 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.53, while a Heavily Played one drops to roughly $0.35. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.53, Lightly Played $0.39, Moderately Played $0.25, Heavily Played $0.35 — 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 $20.00 — about 38x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $4.47.
Is It Worth Grading Darkrai?
Grading Darkrai can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.53) and a PSA 10 ($20.00) is about $19.47 — a 38x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $4.47, CGC 10 $49.00, CGC 9.5 $5.51. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
