What Is Ampharos V Worth?
Ampharos V (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH04: Vivid Voltage, card number 049/185. 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.
Ampharos V Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ampharos V (SWSH04: Vivid Voltage, 049/185) is worth around $0.99 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.99, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.57. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.99, Lightly Played $0.85, Moderately Played $0.73, Heavily Played $1.76, Damaged $0.57 — 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 $22.50 — about 23x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $8.50.
Is It Worth Grading Ampharos V?
Grading Ampharos V can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.99) and a PSA 10 ($22.50) is about $21.51 — a 23x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $8.50, CGC 10 $19.99, PSA 8 $4.25. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
