The collector's take on Ampharos V
Is Ampharos V worth grading?
So is Ampharos V worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy runs about $7, a Grade 9 climbs to $21, and a PSA 10 sits at $73, which works out to roughly 10.0x what the raw card sells for. That's a real jump, no question, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on this card. Out of the graded population, only about half come back as a PSA 10, so you're sending it in with real odds of landing a 9 instead. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time, and this becomes a card worth grading only if your copy is already sharp in hand, centered, clean edges, no whitening. If it's got soft corners or a slight print line, you're better off keeping it raw or selling as-is.
How rare is Ampharos V?
Right now there are 1,021 total graded copies of Ampharos V on record, and 540 of those graded out as a PSA 10. That's a higher gem rate than a lot of Ultra Rares from this era, which tells you the card isn't especially fragile to print or cut, but it also means true gem mint copies aren't some ultra-scarce trophy either. The population is real but not enormous, so a well-graded copy still holds a nice edge over a stack of raw commons in your binder. Scarcity here isn't extreme, it's more of a quiet, steady rarity that keeps the PSA 10 price meaningfully above the raw card without spiking into rare-chase territory.
Where can you pull Ampharos V?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep: we've recorded Ampharos V pulled 8 times across real pack sites, specifically courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $37. It's shown up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack, so it's not locked to one single product. That said, 8 recorded pulls tells you this isn't a card you should expect to hit on demand. Most collectors who want a specific Ampharos V copy end up buying it outright on the secondary market rather than chasing it through packs, and that's worth knowing before you spend real money hoping to rip one open. Opening packs for value is always a bit of a gamble, and the math usually favors the house, so go in treating it as entertainment first.
Questions people ask
How much is Ampharos V worth?+
A raw, ungraded Ampharos V is worth about $7 right now. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting around $21 and a PSA 10 reaching $73. Where your copy lands in that range depends entirely on its condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Ampharos V worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 10.0x the raw price. But only around 540 of the 1,021 graded copies have hit that top grade, so it's not a guaranteed outcome. If your copy already looks clean and well-centered in hand, grading is worth considering. If it's rough around the edges, save the fee.
What set is Ampharos V from?+
Ampharos V is card number 171 from the Vivid Voltage set, released in 2020. It's an Ultra Rare featuring artwork by PLANETA Mochizuki, one of several standout V cards from that release.
