What Is Palafin (Japanese) Worth?

Palafin (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV3: Ruler of the Black Flame set, card number 111/108. 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.

Palafin (Japanese) Value Breakdown

As of 2026, Palafin (Japanese) (SV3: Ruler of the Black Flame, 111/108) is worth around $1.60 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.60, while a Heavily Played one drops to roughly $0.80. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.60, Lightly Played $1.25, Moderately Played $0.94, Heavily Played $0.80 — 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 $39.50 — about 25x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $16.50.

Is It Worth Grading Palafin (Japanese)?

Grading Palafin (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.60) and a PSA 10 ($39.50) is about $37.90 — a 25x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $16.50, CGC 10 $5.50, CGC 9.5 $14.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
