What is Cobalion worth?
Cobalion is a non-holo Rare. In Silver Tempest, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Cobalion trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Cobalion before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On Cobalion, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Cobalion in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.
If you are collecting Cobalion
For Cobalion, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Cobalion rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
