What Is Varoom (Japanese) Worth?
Varoom (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV3: Ruler of the Black Flame set, card number 117/108. 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.
Varoom (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Varoom (Japanese) (SV3: Ruler of the Black Flame, 117/108) is worth around $1.18 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.18, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.63. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.18, Lightly Played $0.92, Moderately Played $0.95, Damaged $0.63 — 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 $26.59 — about 23x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $15.00.
Is It Worth Grading Varoom (Japanese)?
