The collector's take on Ho-Oh V
Is Ho-Oh V worth grading?
So is Ho-Oh V worth grading? Here's the honest math: raw copies sit at $3, a Grade 9 climbs to $17, and a PSA 10 sits at $89, which works out to 26.4 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's tempting. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, grading takes time and costs money regardless of the result you get back, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, with clean edges and solid centering, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or print lines, it's probably happier staying raw and loved rather than risking a grading fee on a Grade 9 outcome.
How rare is Ho-Oh V?
Across all grading submissions, there are 2,542 graded copies of Ho-Oh V on record, and 1,745 of those came back PSA 10. That's a pretty striking ratio: the majority of graded copies are hitting gem mint, which tells you this card grades well when it's given a clean copy to work with. That said, population numbers only capture what's been submitted, and plenty of raw copies never make it to a grading company at all. The upshot for value is that PSA 10s aren't as scarce relative to Grade 9s as you might expect, which is part of why the price gap between a raw card and a Grade 9 feels modest while the PSA 10 sits well above both.
Where can you pull Ho-Oh V?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just estimating from price guides. Ho-Oh V has been pulled 44 times across the sites we monitor, including courtyard and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $47. We've seen it turn up in Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, and rookie. It's worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble no matter which site or product you choose, and most rips don't come out ahead. But if you're chasing this one specifically, those are the products where it's actually shown up in recorded pulls, not just where it's rumored to hide.
Questions people ask
How much is Ho-Oh V worth?+
A raw, ungraded Ho-Oh V is valued at $3 right now. Grading changes that picture quite a bit, with a Grade 9 worth $17 and a PSA 10 reaching $89, so the value really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Ho-Oh V worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 26.4x the raw price. But gem mint copies aren't guaranteed, and grading costs money win or lose, so it's worth eyeballing your copy closely for centering and edge wear before you send it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Ho-Oh V worth?+
A PSA 10 Ho-Oh V is currently worth $89. That's out of 1,745 PSA 10 copies within a total population of 2,542 graded copies, so gem mint versions do make up a healthy chunk of what's out there.
