How much is my Pokémon card worth?

Identify set and edition, match grade, use sold comps, then check live listings. Asking prices are not value.


How much is your Pokémon card worth? Start with the exact card (set, number, edition), then condition or grade, then recent sold comps. Asking prices are not value. Use live listings to see what buyers can actually pay today, and set an alert if you are buying or selling into a target.

How do I find out what my Pokémon card is worth?

  1. 1Identify set, card number, and edition (1st / Shadowless / Unlimited when relevant).
  2. 2Decide raw vs graded and which grader if slabbed.
  3. 3Look up recent sold comps for that exact match.
  4. 4Cross-check live asks on GrailHawk card pages, including shipping to Canada if that applies.

Why do grades change the value so much?

A PSA 10 and a PSA 9 of the same card are different markets. Mixing grades in comps is the fastest way to misprice. If the card is raw, condition in photos still matters; do not price a played copy like near-mint.

Sold comps beat asking prices

Filter to sold listings, throw out flukes, and weight recent sales. Then set your target below fair value if you are buying.

Does GrailHawk appraise cards?

No. We help you compare live market listings and set alerts. Value depends on exact match and recent solds.
