Pokémon TCG Card Prices

What drives Pokémon card prices

• Rarity and variant – Holo, Reverse Holo, full arts, Illustration Rares, Special Illustration Rares and gold Hyper Rares are priced very differently from the regular version of the same card.
• Era and set – WotC-era and other vintage cards are sought after by collectors, while in modern eras the top chase illustrations drive the market.
• Edition – in older sets, the 1st Edition stamp or a Shadowless Base Set print adds significant value.
• Pokémon popularity – fan favorites such as Charizard, Pikachu or the Eeveelutions usually sell for more than other cards of the same rarity.
• Condition and grading – creases, scratches and centering matter a lot, and cards graded by PSA or other companies have their own market.
• Language – this page covers English cards; Japanese prints have separate prices.

Where prices come from

RipWorth shows Pokémon (English cards) prices from two sources: TCGplayer (the U.S. market) and Cardmarket (the European market), so you can see at a glance how each side of the Atlantic values a card. Snap a photo or point your camera: RipWorth recognizes the card, including its version and print, and shows prices in your currency (USD, EUR or PLN). The same works for buying (buylist tools) and live on stream with the OBS overlay.
