Stonjourner VMAX · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Stonjourner VMAX card
Numbered 205 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Stonjourner VMAX is a Rare Rainbow, a Basic Fighting-type carrying 330 HP.
It evolves from Stonjourner V, so Stonjourner VMAX is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Stonjourner VMAX worth?
Stonjourner VMAX is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Sword & Shield'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, Sword & Shield 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 Stonjourner VMAX before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Stonjourner VMAX comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Stonjourner VMAX can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Stonjourner VMAX
When you go to buy Stonjourner VMAX, 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 Stonjourner VMAX, so price the specific copy in front of you.
