What Is Memory Capsule (Secret) Worth?
Memory Capsule (Secret) (Holofoil variant) is a secret rare — one of the hardest pulls in SWSH04: Vivid, card number 202/185. 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.
Memory Capsule (Secret) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Memory Capsule (Secret) (SWSH04: Vivid, 202/185) is worth around $1.97 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.97, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.62. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.97, Lightly Played $1.96, Moderately Played $1.60, Heavily Played $2.17, Damaged $0.62 — 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 $40.93 — about 21x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $14.40.
Is It Worth Grading Memory Capsule (Secret)?
Grading Memory Capsule (Secret) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.97) and a PSA 10 ($40.93) is about $38.96 — a 21x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $14.40, CGC 10 $7.50, CGC 9.5 $12.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
