Ampharos is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Neo Genesis, card 1 of 111, released December 16, 2000 in the Neo series. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.
VALUE
What is Ampharos #1 from Neo Genesis worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Ampharos #1 (Neo Genesis) carries a market reference of $91.95 USD for the 1stEditionHolofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers. The graded copy in our machine carries a Rip Station estimated slab value of $170.00 (PSA 8).
