What Is Kingler VMAX Worth?
Kingler VMAX (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, card number 029/172. 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 VMAX Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Kingler VMAX (SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, 029/172) is worth around $1.85 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.85, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $1.20. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.85, Lightly Played $2.04, Moderately Played $2.04, Heavily Played $1.43, Damaged $1.20 — 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 $45.99 — about 25x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $19.95.
Is It Worth Grading Kingler VMAX?
Grading Kingler VMAX can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.85) and a PSA 10 ($45.99) is about $44.14 — a 25x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $19.95, CGC 10 $18.27, CGC 9.5 $21.00. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
