Which print variants of SWSH197 exist, and what do they cost?
Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197 is on record in the Holofoil finish, and that is the only finish this site holds a price for. Any other finish is marked no price record below, which is not the same as saying the card was never printed that way.
HolofoilThis card
The artwork itself is foiled
Reverse HolofoilNo price record
The border around the artwork is foiled
Holofoil$4.88
Reverse HolofoilExample — a different card
The left pane is Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197. The right pane is a different card, standing in so the two finishes can be held side by side — this card has no Reverse Holofoil on record here. Compare where the light sits, not the cards themselves. If you have motion reduced on your device the tilt stops and only the light remains.
On cards that were given several finishes the gap is wide — an early 1st Edition print can run five to eight times the plain one. Same artwork, same number, and the price is decided by a single mark under the picture.
Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197 carries none of that risk here, because one finish is all this site holds a price for. The flip side is that there is no print premium showing in these figures — what moves this price is the grade and whether the copy is genuine.
Where does Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197 rank among Glaceon cards?
34 prints of this Pokémon are on record; 34 of them carry a price, and 34 are shown here
Among the priced prints of this Pokémon this card is number 28 of 34. The top of the list is held by early releases, which is the plainest sign that the year of printing moves the price more than the character does.
How far apart are the Glaceon VSTAR prints in price?
This name was printed 3 times across different sets. Some share the very same artwork in a different edition; others carry different art or different attacks under the same name. Set, rarity and version, not the Pokémon, decide the gap between them.
Glaceon VSTARRare Holo VSTAR$70.19$70.19 vs $4.88
Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197Promo$4.88The cards themselves are identical. Same 260 HP, same attacks. What splits the price is not the card but which box it came out of — the rarity mark and the size of the set together decide how hard one was to pull.
Put the rarity marks and the set sizes side by side and the order explains itself: the smaller the set and the scarcer the mark, the dearer the print.

How expensive is Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197 for a VSTAR card?
129 VSTAR cards carry a price. The bars show how those prices are spread, and the rows below place this card at number 72 among them.
The top of this group is Giratina VSTAR at $352.59 — the dearest VSTAR card on record.
This card costs $4.88, which is dearer than 45% of the group.
Every figure in this panel is counted over the same set: the 129 VSTAR cards that carry a price in the market index this site reads, read August 14, 2026. Each bar is how far up the group that figure sits — the median is the halfway mark, the middle half reaches three quarters and the dearest card fills it. Prices move, so the ranking moves with them.
129 VSTAR cards carry a price; the rows above are the top of the list and this card with its immediate neighbours
Among the 129 priced VSTAR cards this one is number 72. It sits below the group median of $6.05, and the dearest VSTAR card is $352.59 — being in the same class does not carry the price with it.
The rows either side of it show how tight this part of the list is: $4.96 one place above and $4.84 one place below, a difference of $0.12 across three places. Rank moves quickly here, price barely does.

An illustrator is a way of sorting cards, not a reason for their price. Buying another card by the same hand does not carry the price across — what makes the price is the Pokémon, the rarity and the year, and the numbers for that sit in the ranking section.

The cheapest total is $248.00 at eBay, and the dearest of the marketplaces that quote a total is $258.40 — a spread of $10.40 on a card whose asking prices sit within $0.27 of each other. Shipping, not the sticker price, is what decides it.
A price quoted in euros moves with the exchange rate, and an order that crosses a border can pick up import duty on arrival, so a European total can change place between one day and the next.

Read on August 14, 2026. A listing price is what a seller asks; the market price is what buyers paid.
Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197 price spread on TCGplayer
The gap between the cheapest copy on sale and what buyers actually settled at is $1.89. That gap is the room you have to negotiate or to wait out — the market price is the honest middle, and the lowest listing is one seller, on one day, in one condition.
Prices here are for the card alone. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller, and on cross-border orders they can move the order of the marketplaces around.
Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197 in depth — what the numbers mean
The figures from the sections above, tied together once more.
One card, three different places — the answer to "how highly does it rank" changes with the group you measure it against.
This is where Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197 stands highest — number 72 of 129 cards printed in the same class. The rows beside it are the same card measured other ways, and they do not agree.
What makes the price of Glaceon VSTAR
- Glaceon VSTAR — the Pokémon this card is, and the group it is ranked inside
- Promo — SWSH Black Star Promos, so supply came from how that promotion was handed out rather than from a pull rate
- Illustrated by 5ban Graphics — a sorting axis, not a price driver
- VSTAR — the class it was printed as, and the group its price is measured against
Set against cards like it
What holds the price where it is
- It sits at 100% of its own 1-year range, between $3.39 and $4.88 — priced where it has usually been
- Legal in Unlimited and Standard and Expanded only, so it is not bought to fill a tournament deck
- A card that anything can remove in one turn is a card fewer decks carry, and demand is part of what a price is
- 381 daily readings stand behind every figure above

Only the TCGplayer figure is a price this site holds; the other marketplaces are not collected yet, so their rows open a live search instead. The TCGplayer and eBay links are affiliate links and the others are plain links.
How these figures are collected, and where you can check them
Prices on this page are read once a day from public marketplace listings and stored in this site's own archive — 381 daily readings for Glaceon VSTAR SWSH197, the oldest from July 30, 2025 and the newest from August 14, 2026. Card facts are read once from openly published card files and do not change between readings. The places below are where the same information can be checked.
