The most valuable Ho-Oh card by confirmed sales is the 2007 Diamond and Pearl Secret Wonders holo Ho-Oh #10: a PSA 10 sold for $204,000 after 44 bids in a Fanatics Collect weekly auction on September 27, 2026. A PSA 10 of the same card sold for $780 at Fanatics Collect in May 2022 and $15,250 at Goldin in May 2026. Below are the Ho-Oh cards with the biggest confirmed sales, the results still waiting on payment, and how to read a market that moved this fast.

Current as of October 16, 2026. Sales are from Fanatics Collect's sold records, confirmed on each lot page that is still online, and Goldin lot records. Auction prices include buyer's premium. Only single cards with sales marked paid (Fanatics Collect) or sold (Goldin, which does not publish payment status) are ranked, so multi-card lots and sealed packs are left out. Fanatics dates are auction close dates in Pacific time, so lot pages can show the next day.

The Most Valuable Ho-Oh Cards, Ranked

How Fast Ho-Oh Prices Moved in 2026

Several Ho-Oh cards on this list sold for many times their earlier prices in 2026:

Secret Wonders Ho-Oh PSA 10: $780 in May 2022, $15,250 in May 2026, $204,000 in September 2026.

Skyridge Crystal Ho-Oh PSA 10: $25,010 in March 2026, $52,800 in August 2026, and an unpaid $120,000 result in October 2026.

Neo Revelation Ho-Oh PSA 10: an Unlimited copy sold for $5,750 in March 2026 and $47,580 in September 2026. A 1st Edition sold for $14,400 in June 2026, and another reached an unpaid $156,000 in October 2026.

Past results are not a forecast. A record set by one or two bidders can sit far above every other sale of the same card, and unpaid results can fall through. Ho-Oh's partner Lugia saw its own big 2026 results, covered in our guide to the most valuable Lugia cards.

How to Check a Ho-Oh Price Yourself

Count only paid sales. Fanatics Collect's sold records mark some results as unpaid (the lot page still says sold), and those can fall through.

Look at the bid count. The Call of Legends Ho-Oh #9 sold for $34,770 at Goldin in September 2026 after only 6 bids, against $8,700 after 42 bids at Fanatics Collect in May 2026.

Check the population. The Secret Wonders Ho-Oh had 13 PSA 10s on its lot page on October 16, 2026. Our guide on how to read the PSA pop report shows how to find it.
