What is Golurk V worth?
Golurk 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 Golurk V before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Golurk V, surface is the grade cap. The psychic 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 Golurk V
If you are buying Golurk 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 Golurk V against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
