About the Varoom card
Varoom is card 140 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, a Common. It is a Basic Metal-type with 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Varoom needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

The card's flavor text gives Varoom a line of lore: "It is said that this Pokémon was born when an unknown poison Pokémon entered and inspirited an engine left at a scrap-processing factory."
What is Varoom worth?
Varoom is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Varoom before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Varoom is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Varoom
Raw copies of Varoom are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Varoom is the practical move.
