The Giratina V Alternate Art from Lost Origin is one of the most striking cards of its era — a dark, atmospheric piece that has become a firm collector favourite. If you’ve got one, you’re probably wondering how much your Giratina V Alt Art is worth and whether now is the time to sell.
Here’s what you need to know.
What is the Giratina V Alt Art card?
The Giratina V Alternate Art (186/196) is a secret rare from the 2022 Lost Origin set. It captures Giratina emerging from its shadowy Distortion World, and the moody, detailed artwork made it an instant chase card. Combined with Giratina’s popularity as a legendary Pokémon, it’s remained one of the most desirable alt arts of the Sword & Shield run.
So, how much is Giratina V Alt Art worth?
As a rough UK guide, a raw near-mint copy typically sells for around £90–£180, while a gem-mint PSA 10 can reach £250–£500 depending on demand. As with all modern cards, prices move over time, so it’s worth getting a current valuation before you sell.
What affects the value?
- Condition — dark-bordered alt arts show whitening and edge wear easily, so pristine copies are prized.
- Grade — the step up to PSA 10 adds a substantial premium.
- Authenticity — verify the card is genuine before listing.
- Demand — Giratina’s strong fanbase supports lasting interest.
Is grading worth it?
Because condition is so important on this card, grading is often well worth it — a high grade both protects the card and proves its quality to buyers. We can manage the full process for you via our UK PSA grading service.
