What Is Honchkrow V Worth?
Honchkrow V (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, card number 088/172. 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.
Honchkrow V Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Honchkrow V (SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, 088/172) is worth around $0.73 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.73, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.99. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.73, Lightly Played $0.73, Moderately Played $0.75, Heavily Played $0.50, Damaged $0.99 — 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 $35.00 — about 48x 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 Honchkrow V?
Grading Honchkrow V can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.73) and a PSA 10 ($35.00) is about $34.27 — a 48x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $12.50, CGC 10 $8.50, PSA 8 $10.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
