Ampharos V is the electric-yellow standout from 2020's Vivid Voltage set, card #49, illustrated by Ryuta Fuse in that bold Holo Rare V style that made this era so much fun to pull. If you're checking Ampharos V value right now, the short answer is that it's an affordable holo with a raw price around $2, but the story gets a lot more interesting once grading enters the picture. Collectors like it for the artwork and the era it represents, not for scarcity at the raw level, which is exactly why understanding the grading jump matters so much here.

The collector's take on Ampharos V

Is Ampharos V worth grading?

Here's the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Ampharos V sits at about $2, while a PSA 10 copy is fetching $493, which works out to roughly 302.5 times the raw price. That's a genuinely wide gap, and it's the kind of number that gets people excited about sending cards in. But gem mint isn't a given. Out of 1,710 total graded copies, 828 have come back PSA 10, so it happens fairly often for this card, though centering and surface issues can still knock a copy down to a Grade 9, which trades much lower at $278. Grading costs money and takes time regardless of the outcome, so weigh the fee against what you're actually holding: a sharp corner or two under a light box can save you from an expensive surprise. If your copy looks clean under a loupe, it's worth grading is Ampharos V worth grading is a fair question to ask, and here the odds are reasonably in your favor, just don't treat a 10 as guaranteed.

How rare is Ampharos V?

Population numbers tell a clear story here. There are 1,710 graded copies of Ampharos V on record, and 828 of those are sitting at PSA 10, which is a genuinely high share of top grades for a card from this set. That tells you this particular card grades well when submitted, so a PSA 10 isn't the rarest thing in the world, but it's still a meaningful jump above raw and Grade 9 copies in terms of what buyers are willing to pay. Scarcity at the top end still exists, just don't expect a PSA 10 Ampharos V to be a needle in a haystack the way some tougher cards are.

Where can you pull Ampharos V?

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pack pulls across sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We've recorded Ampharos V pulled 22 times across lastpack, courtyard, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $52. It's turned up in packs like noobie, The Amazing Chase Encore, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, starter, and Pokémon Pro Pack, so it's not exclusive to one product, it just shows up here and there across a mix of pack types. Worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble by nature, most rips don't beat what you paid, so if you're chasing this specific card, buying a known copy on the secondary market is often the steadier route, and pulling it is more of a nice surprise than a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is Ampharos V worth?+

A raw, ungraded Ampharos V is valued at around $2, which makes it an accessible pickup for most collectors. Its value jumps considerably once it's graded, with a Grade 9 worth $278 and a PSA 10 worth $493, so condition really does the heavy lifting on this card's price.

Is Ampharos V worth grading?+

It can be, especially since PSA 10 copies sell for about 302.5 times the raw price. With 828 of the 1,710 graded copies coming back as PSA 10, the odds of hitting gem mint are decent, but always check your card's corners and centering closely before paying for grading, since Grade 9 copies sell for noticeably less.

A PSA 10 Ampharos V is currently worth $493, a big step up from the raw price of $2. Of the 1,710 total graded copies on record, 828 have earned that PSA 10 grade, so gem mint status is achievable but still adds real value over lower grades.
