What Is Chi-Yu Worth?
Chi-Yu (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV04: Paradox set, card number 029/182. 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.
Chi-Yu Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Chi-Yu (SV04: Paradox, 029/182) is worth around $0.22 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.22, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.14. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.22, Lightly Played $0.27, Moderately Played $0.30, Heavily Played $0.15, Damaged $0.14 — 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 $9.50 — about 43x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $39.98.
Is It Worth Grading Chi-Yu?
Grading Chi-Yu can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.22) and a PSA 10 ($9.50) is about $9.28 — a 43x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $39.98, CGC 10 $25.00, CGC 9.5 $5.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
