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