Questions about card values

What is the most expensive Pokémon card right now?

By ungraded Near Mint price on TCGplayer, Mew (30th Celebration, Holofoil) leads at $6,000, as of October 4, 2026. Graded copies, especially PSA 10s, sell for far more.

Why are graded cards not on this list?

The list uses raw (ungraded) Near Mint market prices so cards are compared on the same basis. Graded sales depend on the grade and the grading company, and a PSA 10 of the same card can be worth many times the raw price.

How often is this list updated?

The prices come from TCGplayer market data that TCG Vault refreshes daily; this page is rebuilt every day. The prices shown are as of October 4, 2026.

How can I check what my own Pokémon cards are worth?

Search a card by name and number in the Pokémon card value checker, or scan it with the TCG Vault app on iPhone to see its set, rarity and Near Mint price in seconds.
