Altaria · Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, what to know.
About the Altaria card
Altaria is card GG19 of 70 in Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery, released in January 2023, a Trainer Gallery Rare Holo. It is a Stage 1 Dragon-type with 90 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Swablu, which places Altaria deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Altaria a line of lore: "On sunny days, it flies freely through the sky and blends into the clouds. It sings in a beautiful soprano."
What is Altaria worth?
Altaria is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Altaria before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Altaria comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Altaria can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Altaria
Buying Altaria well means pricing the exact print and grade, not the card name. Match the rarity tier to the comp before you buy. Always see the holo surface in good light first.
