Talonflame V: Rarity & Collectibility
Talonflame 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 #029/185 of the SWSH04: Vivid Voltage 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 Talonflame V?
In 2026, a Near Mint Talonflame V (Ultra Rare, SWSH04: Vivid Voltage #029/185) changes hands at roughly $0.92, 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 $0.92, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.31. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.92, Lightly Played $0.75, Moderately Played $0.69, Heavily Played $0.49, Damaged $0.31 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Talonflame V is valued near $35.00 — about 38x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Talonflame V: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Talonflame V, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Talonflame V sits around $35.00 — roughly 38x 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 $14.25, CGC 10 $15.00, CGC 9.5 $8.59 — 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.
