What is Omastar worth?
Omastar is a non-holo Rare. In Scarlet & Violet 151, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Omastar trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Omastar before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Omastar are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. These cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Omastar survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Omastar
For Omastar, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Omastar rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
