What Is Aerodactyl VSTAR Worth?
Aerodactyl VSTAR (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH11: Lost Origin, card number 093/196. 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.
Aerodactyl VSTAR Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Aerodactyl VSTAR (SWSH11: Lost Origin, 093/196) is worth around $1.51 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.51, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.64. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.51, Lightly Played $1.18, Moderately Played $1.11, Heavily Played $0.88, Damaged $0.64 — 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 $23.00 — about 15x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $12.74.
Is It Worth Grading Aerodactyl VSTAR?
Grading Aerodactyl VSTAR can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.51) and a PSA 10 ($23.00) is about $21.49 — a 15x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $12.74, CGC 10 $43.10, CGC 9.5 $9.05. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
