What is Garbodor V worth?
Garbodor V is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Evolving Skies'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, Evolving Skies 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 Garbodor V before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Garbodor V lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The darkness 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 Garbodor V
When you go to buy Garbodor 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 Garbodor V, so price the specific copy in front of you.
