How much is my Pokémon card worth?

Finding out what a Pokémon card is worth is easy once you know what to look at. The fastest way is to scan it with your phone, but it helps to understand what makes a card valuable.

1. Identify the card: set and number

At the bottom of the card there is a number like 025/165 and the set symbol. The same Pokémon can be worth €0.05 or €200 depending on the set, the number and whether it's a special version (full art, secret rare, holo, reverse holo).

2. Check the language

The same card isn't worth the same in English, Japanese or other languages. Japanese cards have their own prices.

3. Check the condition

Reference prices are for Near Mint cards. Creases, holo scratches or white corners lower the price a lot, while a graded card (PSA, CGC) can be worth several times more.

4. Look up the real market price

In Europe the reference marketplace is Cardmarket: look at the trend price (what people are actually paying), not just the lowest listing.

The quick way: scan it
