What makes a holo valuable
- Age & set: Vintage holos (especially WOTC) lead in value.
- Edition: First edition and shadowless holos command premiums.
- Character: Charizard, Umbreon, and other favorites sell higher.
- Condition: Holos show scratches easily, so condition is key.
- Grading: High grades boost value significantly.
Not all holos are equal
A vintage first-edition holo can be worth hundreds or thousands; a common modern reverse-holo may be bulk. The card and condition decide it.
