What Is Zapdos Worth?
Zapdos (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the XY - Roaring Skies set, card number 23/108. 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.
Zapdos Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Zapdos (XY - Roaring Skies, 23/108) is worth around $1.72 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.72, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.15. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.72, Lightly Played $0.95, Moderately Played $0.50, Heavily Played $0.60, Damaged $0.15 — 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 $249.99 — about 145x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $20.50.
Is It Worth Grading Zapdos?
Grading Zapdos can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.72) and a PSA 10 ($249.99) is about $248.27 — a 145x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $20.50, PSA 8 $16.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
