What Is Vespiquen (11) Worth?
Vespiquen (11) (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the XY - Ancient Origins set, card number 11/98. 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.
Vespiquen (11) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Vespiquen (11) (XY - Ancient Origins, 11/98) is worth around $1.13 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.13, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.36. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.13, Lightly Played $1.02, Moderately Played $0.58, Heavily Played $0.86, Damaged $0.36 — 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 $100.00 — about 88x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $34.00.
Is It Worth Grading Vespiquen (11)?
