What Is Team Star Grunt Worth?
Team Star Grunt (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set, card number 242/198. 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.
Team Star Grunt Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Team Star Grunt (SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set, 242/198) is worth around $1.61 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.61, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.76. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.61, Lightly Played $1.28, Moderately Played $1.25, Heavily Played $1.70, Damaged $0.76 — 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 $40.00 — about 25x 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 Team Star Grunt?
Grading Team Star Grunt can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.61) and a PSA 10 ($40.00) is about $38.39 — a 25x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $10.50, CGC 10 $40.00, CGC 9.5 $5.59. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
