What is Celebi worth?
Celebi is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Vivid Voltage'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, Vivid Voltage 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 before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Celebi, surface is the grade cap. The grass foil shows hairlines under raking light, and the print reveals scratches that flat scans miss. Centering on the left and right borders is the second thing to check.
If you are collecting Celebi
When you go to buy Celebi, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Celebi, so price the specific copy in front of you.
