What Is Dark Persian Worth?
Dark Persian (Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the WoTC Promo set, card number 17/53. 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.
Dark Persian Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Dark Persian (WoTC Promo, 17/53) is worth around $78.30 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $78.30, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $18.51. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $78.30, Lightly Played $60.62, Moderately Played $46.43, Heavily Played $31.84, Damaged $18.51 — 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 $4,000 — about 51x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $283.00.
Is It Worth Grading Dark Persian?
Grading Dark Persian can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($78.30) and a PSA 10 ($4,000) is about $3,922 — a 51x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $283.00, CGC 10 $202.50, CGC 9.5 $300.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
