How Much Is My Pokémon Card Worth?
Search your card below for its live market price, then use the steps on this page to make sure you're comparing the right version in the right condition. ChasingFoil tracks daily prices for every card in the catalog, with price history and graded sale prices on each card page.
Tip: include the card number (the 025 in 025/198) to jump straight to the right card.
Step by step: find your card's value
1. Identify the card: name, set and number
Read the name at the top, then find the card number in the bottom corner (it looks like 025/198) and the set symbol. Name plus number pins down the exact card, which matters because the same Pokémon is often reprinted in many sets at very different prices.
2. Check the printing
Holo, reverse holo, 1st Edition, Shadowless and other printings of the same card are priced separately. Match the finish you're holding to the version on the card page. Older sets are listed in the sets index.
3. Judge the condition
Raw (ungraded) prices are generally for Near Mint copies. Look at the corners, edges, surface and centering under good light; whitening, scratches or creases mean a lower price than the listed figure.
4. Decide raw vs graded
A card in a PSA, CGC or BGS slab is priced by its grade, not by the raw price. If yours is ungraded and in top shape, compare raw to graded prices and see how rarely the top grade is achieved on gem rates, then browse the best Pokémon cards to grade.
5. Compare sold prices, not asking prices
What sellers ask and what buyers pay can be far apart. Use prices based on completed sales. ChasingFoil's raw prices are TCGplayer market prices and its graded prices come from eBay sold listings; the methodology page explains exactly how they are computed. Each card page also shows price history, so you can see whether today's figure is typical.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out how much my Pokémon card is worth?
Identify the card (name, set and card number), note its printing (for example holo, reverse holo or 1st Edition) and its condition, then look up the price for that exact version. Search the card on ChasingFoil to see its current raw market price and, where available, graded sale prices.
Where is the set symbol and card number on a Pokémon card?
The set symbol is a small icon, usually at the lower right of the card on modern cards or beside the artwork on older ones. The card number sits in the bottom corner, shown as a number out of the set size (for example 025/198). Searching by name plus number is the most reliable way to land on the right card.
Is my Pokémon card worth grading?
Grading can raise the value of cards in top condition, but it costs money and a lower grade can be worth less than the cost. Compare the card's raw price with its graded prices, and check how often it actually gets the top grade, on the gem-rates page, before deciding.
Why do different sites show different prices for the same card?
Prices come from different sources and methods: a recent sale, an average of sales, the lowest listing, or sellers' asking prices. Asking prices are not what cards sell for. ChasingFoil's raw prices are TCGplayer market prices, which are based on recent sales, and its graded prices come from eBay sold listings.
Does condition change what a Pokémon card is worth?
Yes. Raw prices are usually quoted for Near Mint copies; a card with visible wear, whitening, creases or edge damage typically sells for less. Be honest about the condition when you compare, and look at sold prices for cards in a similar state.
Are reverse holo or 1st Edition versions worth more?
Printings are priced separately, and which is worth more varies by card and set. That is why the printing matters: open the card page and compare the price of each version listed there.
