What Is Kyurem VMAX Worth?
Kyurem VMAX (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH11: Lost Origin, card number 049/196. 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.
Kyurem VMAX Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Kyurem VMAX (SWSH11: Lost Origin, 049/196) is worth around $1.83 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.83, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $1.32. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.83, Lightly Played $2.00, Moderately Played $1.91, Heavily Played $0.95, Damaged $1.32 — 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 $45.00 — about 25x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $19.50.
Is It Worth Grading Kyurem VMAX?
Grading Kyurem VMAX can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.83) and a PSA 10 ($45.00) is about $43.17 — a 25x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $19.50, CGC 10 $22.46, CGC 9.5 $13.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
