The 6 factors behind its price"},"content":{"rendered":"

Found some old Pok\u00e9mon cards, or just pulled a shiny card, and wondering what it is worth? A card\u2019s price depends on several factors that combine. Here are the six to check, and how to estimate its real value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Rarity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The symbol at the bottom of the card shows its rarity: a circle for common, a diamond for uncommon, a star for rare. The most sought-after cards are often special rarities, such as illustration rares, ex cards or cards whose number is higher than the set\u2019s card count (for example 210\/191).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The card\u2019s condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is often the factor that moves the price the most. Look at the card in good light: whitened corners, damaged edges, scratches on the holo surface, creases or off-centring all lower the value. Cards are usually graded Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Good, then damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The same card does not have the same value in French, English or Japanese. Depending on the card, one version or another is more sought after, so always compare with sales in the same language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Edition and version<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For older cards, a \u201c1st Edition\u201d stamp can multiply the value. For all cards, the version matters: a holo, reverse holo or promo card is not valued the same as the regular version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Grading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A graded card has been assessed by a specialist company (such as PSA, CGC or PCA), which gives it a grade and seals it in a case. A grade of 10 can push the price well above that of an ungraded card. Grading has a cost: it is only worthwhile for cards in excellent condition and of high value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the popularity of the Pok\u00e9mon and the artwork matters a lot: cards featuring iconic Pok\u00e9mon or much-loved artwork sell for more, for the same rarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
