What is Duraludon V worth?
Duraludon 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

Grading and condition
Expect the holo window to set the grade on Duraludon V. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the dragon foil are the usual reasons a copy lands at a 9, and edge whitening against the frame is the next thing a grader notes.
