Mawile VSTAR · Silver Tempest, what to know.
About the Mawile VSTAR card
Numbered 200 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Mawile VSTAR is a Rare Rainbow, a Basic Psychic-type carrying 260 HP.
It evolves from Mawile V, so Mawile VSTAR is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Mawile VSTAR worth?
Mawile VSTAR is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Silver Tempest'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, Silver Tempest 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 Mawile VSTAR 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 Mawile VSTAR. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the psychic 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 Mawile VSTAR
When you go to buy Mawile VSTAR, 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 Mawile VSTAR, so price the specific copy in front of you.
