What Is Lapras V Worth?
Lapras V (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH01: Sword & Shield Base Set, card number 049/202. 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.
Lapras V Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Lapras V (SWSH01: Sword & Shield Base Set, 049/202) is worth around $1.92 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.92, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $1.16. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.92, Lightly Played $1.92, Moderately Played $1.22, Heavily Played $1.25, Damaged $1.16 — 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 $26.00 — about 14x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $10.50.
Is It Worth Grading Lapras V?
Grading Lapras V can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.92) and a PSA 10 ($26.00) is about $24.08 — a 14x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $10.50, CGC 10 $33.00, PSA 8 $14.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
