On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Carmine Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Carmine (SV06: Twilight Masquerade, 217/167) is worth around $59.66 in Near Mint condition.

The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $59.66, Lightly Played $50.63, Moderately Played $54.00, Heavily Played $40.00, Damaged $39.99 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.

Is It Worth Grading Carmine?
