What is Celebi V worth?
Celebi V is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Sword & Shield'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, Sword & Shield 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 Celebi V before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Celebi V lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The grass foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Celebi V
If you are buying Celebi V, work in order: confirm the print variant first, then the grade, then price against recent sales for that exact variant and grade. Price the Celebi V against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
