How to find a Pokémon card's value

  1. Find the set and number. Bottom corner of the card (for example 4/102). The same Pokémon can be worth $1 or $1,000 depending on the set.
  2. Check the version. 1st Edition, shadowless, holo, reverse holo, full art and secret rare all price differently.
  3. Look at condition. Whitening on the back edges, scratches on the holo and off-center printing lower the price.
  4. Compare prices. Open the Gaming tab in CardScout to see market prices next to current eBay listings.

Got a whole binder?

CardScout Pro's bulk scan identifies up to 30 cards from a single photo of a binder page, so you can value an entire collection in minutes instead of typing each card.

Common questions

How do I check my Pokémon card value?

Find the set symbol and card number at the bottom of the card, note whether it's holo, reverse holo or a special art, then compare market prices for that exact version. CardScout can identify it from a photo and show TCGplayer market prices and live eBay listings.

Which Pokémon cards are worth money?

Usually first editions, shadowless Base Set cards, full-art and secret rare cards, illustration rares, and popular Pokémon like Charizard, Pikachu and Umbreon, especially in high grades.

Should I get my Pokémon card graded?

Grading pays off mainly for valuable cards in near-perfect shape. CardScout Pro's grade estimate checks centering, corners, edges and surface from photos and compares raw vs graded value.

Is CardScout free for Pokémon cards?

Yes. Searching, scanning (5 a day), alerts and collection tracking are free.
