Arctovish V #48 value & price

Tap to open
Arctovish V is one of those quietly cool cards from Evolving Skies, the 2021 set that packed in so many fan favorites that Arctovish almost gets overlooked next to the bigger Alt Arts and VMAXes. It is a Holo Rare V, illustrated by Eske Yoshinob with that icy, fossil-Pokemon look that fits the card perfectly. If you are trying to pin down Arctovish V value, the short answer is that it sits solidly in budget territory raw, but grading changes the picture quite a bit.

The collector's take on Arctovish V
Is Arctovish V worth grading?
Here is the honest version: a raw, ungraded Arctovish V is sitting around $1, and a PSA 10 is valued at $54, which works out to roughly 39.4 times the raw price. That is a real jump, and it is exactly why people ask if it is worth grading. The catch is that gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to land, since even small print or edge flaws that don't bother you at all in hand can knock a card down to a Grade 9, which sits at $20. Grading fees and shipping add up fast, and if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10 you can end up out of pocket. My honest take: grade it if the surfaces and corners look clean under a bright light and you're doing it for the love of the card, not purely chasing the multiplier.
How rare is Arctovish V?
PackSpy doesn't have population numbers to share for this one, so it's tough to say exactly how many gem mint copies are floating around out there. What we do know is that it holds Holo Rare V status in a set that was printed in real volume back in 2021, so it's not a card you'd call ultra scarce in raw form. The scarcity that matters most here is at the top end, in PSA 10 condition, where clean centering and sharp corners are the difference between a $20 card and a $54 one.
Where can you pull Arctovish V?
This is the part where our data actually helps rather than just guessing: PackSpy tracks real pulls across pack opening sites, and as of now we haven't recorded Arctovish V being pulled on any site we monitor. That tells you it's genuinely uncommon to see come out of a live break or online pack. If you want one in hand, your realistic path right now is the secondary market rather than waiting on a rip, and that's worth knowing before you spend money on packs hoping to hit it. It's also a good reminder that opening packs is a gamble, most rips don't cover their cost, and cards like this one are proof that some pulls are simply rare enough to skip the pack aisle entirely.
