What Is Kindler (Full Art) Worth?
Kindler (Full Art) (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, card number 170/172. 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.
Kindler (Full Art) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Kindler (Full Art) (SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, 170/172) is worth around $1.12 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.12, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $1.00. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.12, Lightly Played $0.94, Moderately Played $1.17, Heavily Played $0.89, Damaged $1.00 — 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 $23.40 — about 21x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $13.50.
