What Is Simisear V Worth?
Simisear V (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, card number 027/172. 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.
Simisear V Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Simisear V (SWSH09: Brilliant Stars, 027/172) is worth around $0.69 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.69, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.49. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.69, Lightly Played $0.67, Moderately Played $0.72, Heavily Played $0.68, Damaged $0.49 — 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 $21.50 — about 31x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $19.99.
Is It Worth Grading Simisear V?
Grading Simisear V can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.69) and a PSA 10 ($21.50) is about $20.81 — a 31x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $19.99, CGC 10 $20.00, CGC 9.5 $6.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
