What Is Kingler V Worth?
Kingler V (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, card number 028/172. 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.
Kingler V Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Kingler V (SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, 028/172) is worth around $0.87 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.87, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.65. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.87, Lightly Played $0.97, Moderately Played $0.86, Heavily Played $0.87, Damaged $0.65 — 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 $59.95 — about 69x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $17.25.
Is It Worth Grading Kingler V?
