What Is Iron Thorns (Japanese) Worth?
Iron Thorns (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV5M: Cyber Judge set, card number 077/071. 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.
Iron Thorns (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Iron Thorns (Japanese) (SV5M: Cyber Judge, 077/071) is worth around $1.41 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.41, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $1.20. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.41, Lightly Played $1.36, Moderately Played $1.20 — 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 $36.51 — about 26x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $26.34.
Is It Worth Grading Iron Thorns (Japanese)?
