What Is Sordward & Shielbert Worth?
Sordward & Shielbert (Holofoil variant) is an ultra-rare chase card from SWSH12: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery, card number TG28/TG30. 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.
Sordward & Shielbert Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Sordward & Shielbert (SWSH12: Silver Tempest Trainer Gallery, TG28/TG30) is worth around $1.67 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.67, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.85. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.67, Lightly Played $1.56, Moderately Played $1.84, Heavily Played $0.95, Damaged $0.85 — 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 $18.50 — about 11x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $13.50.
