What is Hitmontop worth?
Hitmontop is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Ascended Heroes'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, Ascended Heroes 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 Hitmontop before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Expect the holo window to set the grade on Hitmontop. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the fighting foil are the usual reasons a copy lands at a 9, and edge whitening against the frame is the next thing a grader notes.
If you are collecting Hitmontop
When you go to buy Hitmontop, 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 Hitmontop, so price the specific copy in front of you.
