What Is Ho-Oh Worth?
Ho-Oh (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the Unseen Forces set, card number 27/115. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Ho-Oh Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ho-Oh (Unseen Forces, 27/115) is worth around $41.07 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $41.07, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $19.51. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $41.07, Lightly Played $118.69, Moderately Played $45.63, Heavily Played $19.99, Damaged $19.51 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.

Is It Worth Grading Ho-Oh?
