What Is Shaymin VSTAR Worth?
Shaymin VSTAR (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, card number 014/172. 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.
Shaymin VSTAR Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Shaymin VSTAR (SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, 014/172) is worth around $1.15 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.15, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.65. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.15, Lightly Played $1.02, Moderately Played $0.90, Heavily Played $0.70, 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 $44.97 — about 39x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $16.00.
Is It Worth Grading Shaymin VSTAR?
Grading Shaymin VSTAR can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.15) and a PSA 10 ($44.97) is about $43.82 — a 39x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $16.00, CGC 10 $13.50, CGC 9.5 $14.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
