Ho-Oh #HGSS01 Value (HGSS Black Star Promos)
Pokemon card price guide: raw and graded values, eBay sold prices and price history. Updated Nov 2, 2026.
Carrying the inaugural HGSS01 numbering, Ho-Oh opened the HeartGold & SoulSilver Black Star Promo sequence in 2010. Takashi Yamaguchi provided the artwork, and the promotional designation separates it from Ho-Oh's main-set LEGEND appearance released in the same era. Its raw band is meaningful, though it sits around the middle of the promo checklist's value ranking.
