What Is Latios (Japanese) Worth?
Latios (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SM3+: Shining Legends set, card number 042/072. 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.
Latios (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Latios (Japanese) (SM3+: Shining Legends, 042/072) is worth around $1.99 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.99, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $19.44. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.99, Lightly Played $0.99, Damaged $19.44 — 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 $77.95 — about 39x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $10.50.
Is It Worth Grading Latios (Japanese)?
Grading Latios (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.99) and a PSA 10 ($77.95) is about $75.96 — a 39x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $10.50, CGC 10 $19.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
