What Is Ortega Worth?
Ortega (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SV03: Obsidian Flames, card number 219/197. 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.
Ortega Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ortega (SV03: Obsidian Flames, 219/197) is worth around $1.10 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.10, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.45. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.10, Lightly Played $0.80, Moderately Played $1.20, Heavily Played $1.00, Damaged $0.45 — 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 $35.00 — about 32x 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 Ortega?
Grading Ortega can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.10) and a PSA 10 ($35.00) is about $33.90 — a 32x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $7.50, CGC 10 $25.00, CGC 9.5 $9.38. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
