What Is Ampharos Worth?
Ampharos (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from XY - Steam Siege, card number 40/114. 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.
Ampharos Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Ampharos (XY - Steam Siege, 40/114) is worth around $1.11 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.11, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.52. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.11, Lightly Played $0.85, Moderately Played $0.41, Heavily Played $0.52, Damaged $0.52 — 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 $35.00 — about 32x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $35.00.
Is It Worth Grading Ampharos?
Grading Ampharos can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.11) and a PSA 10 ($35.00) is about $33.89 — a 32x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $35.00, PSA 8 $10.00. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
