A sealed box of the set that produced this card is listed at less than half of what one graded copy is asking.
Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR is the flagship chase Pokemon of S10P Space Juggler, a set headlined by it and its counterpart, Origin Forme Dialga. Between the base V, the VSTAR, two secret-rare SRs, an HR, a set-native UR, and a second UR reprinted eight months later in VSTAR Universe, there are seven distinct printings on the Origin Palkia ladder — and the prices between them span a very wide range for cards from the same Pokemon. This guide maps each major printing, tells you which one you’re looking at, and shows where the real value sits.
A Space Juggler booster box is currently listed at ¥14,175 — the box that can pull every card on this ladder. Our PSA 10 VSTAR Universe UR (259/172) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is currently listed at ¥34,528, which sits in line with current Japanese market asks for that graded card. The set-native VSTAR HR (081/067) and the out-of-stock V SR SA (071/067) fill in the rest of the chase.
The Full Origin Palkia Chase Ladder
Origin Forme Palkia (the alternate, spatial-distortion form from Pokemon Legends: Arceus) headlines S10P Space Juggler, released in Japan on April 8, 2022. Space Juggler and its sister set, Time Gazer (S10D, led by Origin Forme Dialga), together form the Japanese basis for the English Astral Radiance expansion. Each set runs 67 base cards plus 21 secret-rare slots (068–088), for 88 cards total.
Origin Palkia’s numbering runs straight up the secret-rare ladder:
| Step | Card | Number | Rarity | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Origin Forme Palkia V | 022/067 | V | Base pull |
| 2 | Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR | 023/067 | VSTAR | Base pull |
| 3 | Origin Forme Palkia V | 070/067 | V SR | Secret rare |
| 4 | Origin Forme Palkia V | 071/067 | V SR SA | Currently out of stock — ¥39,000 reference |
| 5 | Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR | 081/067 | VSTAR HR | ¥19,570 — currently listed |
| 6 | Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR | 086/067 | VSTAR UR | Set-native chase, see below |
That’s the S10P ladder on its own. A seventh card, the VSTAR Universe UR (259/172), arrived eight months later in a different set entirely — more on how the two URs relate in the section below.
If you’re chasing the full ladder rather than a single graded copy, our S10P Space Juggler pull rates and best cards guide covers box-level odds for the whole set, including the Dialga side.
The VSTAR HR: 081/067
Sitting one rung below the set’s UR, the VSTAR HR at 081/067 is the full-art hyper rare most collectors settle for — and, card-for-card, the strongest value on this whole ladder. Our PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥19,570, roughly half the price of the graded VSTAR Universe UR and well below where the out-of-stock V SR SA reference was last listed.
The HR treatment on S10P follows the same house style as the rest of the Astral Radiance-era secret rares: the rainbow-holo hyper rare finish used across the era’s HR slots, with the full card face given over to the treatment. If you’re building a display-grade Origin Palkia collection on a budget, this is the card to anchor it around.
Two URs, Two Sets: 086/067 vs the VSTAR Universe Reprint
This is where most buyers get confused, so it’s worth separating clearly. Origin Forme Palkia has two different UR printings, from two different sets, eight months apart:
| Printing | Set | Release | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR UR — 086/067 | S10P Space Juggler | April 8, 2022 | aky CG Works |
| Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR UR — 259/172 | s12a VSTAR Universe | December 2, 2022 | AKIRA EGAWA |
The 086/067 UR is the set-native top rare of Space Juggler itself — the card sitting at the very top of the ladder in the table above. Japanese secondary-market listings currently place raw and PSA 10 asks for that printing in the roughly ¥10,500–¥18,900 range, well under the reprint.
The 259/172 UR is a different animal: a full reprint in VSTAR Universe (s12a), the December 2022 set that collected VSTAR-era chase cards across the whole generation into one release with new illustrations. This version is credited to artist AKIRA EGAWA, and it’s the printing most international collectors mean when they say “the Origin Palkia UR.”
Our PSA 10 copy of the 259/172 UR is currently listed at ¥34,528 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order). Recent snkrdunk PSA 10 asks for this printing run ¥27,000–¥35,000, so our listing sits in line with the current market band rather than under or over it. For raw copies, current asks run roughly ¥10,000–¥17,980.
For the full pull-rate breakdown of the set this UR comes from, see our VSTAR Universe pull rates and best cards guide and the s12a VSTAR Universe set guide.
From Japan to English: Astral Radiance & Crown Zenith
English collectors know this card through two separate releases. Astral Radiance (SWSH10, May 2022) draws primarily on S10P Space Juggler and S10D Time Gazer (alongside cards from other concurrent Japanese releases), so the Palkia V, VSTAR, and secret-rare structure carries over.
The VSTAR Universe reprint has its own English counterpart too: Crown Zenith’s Galarian Gallery sub-set included Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR as GG67, a gold-etched treatment that plays the same role in the English collecting world as the 259/172 UR does in Japan — the definitive “gallery” printing of the card.
Knowing which side of this you’re chasing matters. A Japanese 086/067 UR, a Japanese 259/172 UR, an English Astral Radiance secret rare, and an English Crown Zenith GG67 are four different cards with four different markets, even though three of them show the same Pokemon in a similar pose.
Why the Space Juggler Box Is Still the Value Play
Line up the numbers and the gap is hard to ignore: a sealed Space Juggler box sits at well under half the price of one graded VSTAR Universe UR, and it’s the same set that produces the V, VSTAR, both secret-rare SRs, and the set-native UR — six of the seven cards on this page’s ladder come out of this one box.
Space Juggler doesn’t have the modern MEGA-era pull rates of the newest Japanese sets, and pack-fresh boxes from 2022 are getting harder to source in sealed condition — another reason the price hasn’t followed the graded singles market upward yet.
The V SR SA (071/067): Currently Out of Stock
The card most collectors ask about after the URs is the Special Art V SR, 071/067 — the alternate-art secret rare that sits between the plain V SR (070/067) and the VSTAR HR on the numbering ladder. It’s currently out of stock in our inventory, with a reference value of ¥39,000 (PSA 10) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) — above both the HR and the VSTAR Universe UR.
If you want to be notified when a graded copy comes back into stock, the fastest route is a restock request through our Quick Order page — flag the card and number and we’ll follow up when inventory allows.
