Keldeo V: Rarity & Collectibility
Keldeo V in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #053/202 of the SWSH01: Sword & Shield Base Set set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Keldeo V?
In 2026, a Near Mint Keldeo V (Ultra Rare, SWSH01: Sword & Shield Base Set #053/202) changes hands at roughly $1.11, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $1.11, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.74. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $1.11, Lightly Played $0.88, Moderately Played $0.93, Heavily Played $0.45, Damaged $1.74 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Keldeo V is valued near $33.15 — about 30x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Keldeo V: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Keldeo V, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Keldeo V sits around $33.15 — roughly 30x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $5.00, PSA 8 $12.50 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
