What is Terrakion worth?
Terrakion 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 Terrakion before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, the holo window on Terrakion is where most points are won or lost. Surface scratches and foil misregistration are common on these cards, and centering was inconsistent enough that clean PSA 10s stay scarce. Read the fighting foil at a 45-degree angle under strong light before committing.
If you are collecting Terrakion
If you are buying Terrakion, work in order: confirm the print variant first, then the grade, then price against recent sales for that exact variant and grade. Price the Terrakion against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
