What Is Kabu (Full Art) Worth?
Kabu (Full Art) (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze, card number 186/189. 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.
Kabu (Full Art) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Kabu (Full Art) (SWSH03: Darkness Ablaze, 186/189) is worth around $1.27 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.27, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.81. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.27, Lightly Played $1.27, Moderately Played $1.24, Heavily Played $1.00, Damaged $0.81 — 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 $25.46 — about 20x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $19.99.
