What Is Hero's Medal (Secret) Worth?
Hero's Medal (Secret) (Holofoil variant) is a secret rare — one of the hardest pulls in SWSH04: Vivid, card number 201/185. 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.
Hero's Medal (Secret) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Hero's Medal (Secret) (SWSH04: Vivid, 201/185) 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 $1.25. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.92, Lightly Played $2.06, Moderately Played $1.71, Heavily Played $1.55, Damaged $1.25 — 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 $60.00 — about 31x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $5.00.
Is It Worth Grading Hero's Medal (Secret)?
Grading Hero's Medal (Secret) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.92) and a PSA 10 ($60.00) is about $58.08 — a 31x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $5.00, CGC 10 $20.00, CGC 9.5 $5.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
