Vespiquen ex (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SV03: Obsidian Flames, card number 212/197. 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.
Vespiquen ex Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Vespiquen ex (SV03: Obsidian Flames, 212/197) is worth around $1.31 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.31, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $1.04. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.31, Lightly Played $1.06, Moderately Played $1.11, Heavily Played $0.95, Damaged $1.04 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.
