What is Chesnaught V worth?
Chesnaught V is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Silver Tempest'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, Silver Tempest 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 Chesnaught V before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Chesnaught 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 Chesnaught V
When you go to buy Chesnaught V, 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 Chesnaught V, so price the specific copy in front of you.
