Lumineon V: Rarity & Collectibility
Lumineon 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 #040/172 of the SWSH09: Brilliant Stars 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 Lumineon V?
In 2026, a Near Mint Lumineon V (Ultra Rare, SWSH09: Brilliant Stars #040/172) changes hands at roughly $0.81, 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 $0.81, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.30. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.81, Lightly Played $0.58, Moderately Played $0.68, Heavily Played $5.00, Damaged $0.30 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Lumineon V is valued near $26.00 — about 32x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Lumineon V: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Lumineon V, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Lumineon V sits around $26.00 — roughly 32x 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 $5.50, CGC 10 $18.50, BGS 9.5 $5.99 — 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.
