What Is Vaporeon Worth?
Vaporeon (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SWSH04: Vivid Voltage set, card number 030/185. 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.
Vaporeon Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Vaporeon (SWSH04: Vivid Voltage, 030/185) is worth around $0.81 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.81, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.20. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.81, Lightly Played $0.57, Moderately Played $0.60, Heavily Played $0.50, Damaged $0.20 — 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 32x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $12.50.
Is It Worth Grading Vaporeon?
Grading Vaporeon can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.81) and a PSA 10 ($26.00) is about $25.19 — a 32x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $12.50, CGC 10 $13.32, CGC 9.5 $10.84. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
