Base Set Charizard 4/102, a trading card example
The exact set, edition, and whether the card is raw or graded all split the market
The same Base Set Charizard already used on this site, shown here as a card price guide example. A first-edition print and an unlimited print of the same name should not share one number. Card image from the PokéWallet Images API, hosted locally. Data by PokéWallet. The card artwork is the property of the rights holders. See also photo credits.
Card price guides on other sites often show a catalogue mid-point or a graded-price grid. That is useful, but only after you know the exact print. A first-edition Base Set card and an unlimited print of the same name should not share one number. Baseball, football, and basketball cards, plus Yu-Gi-Oh, MTG, and a Charizard from a specific Pokemon set, follow the same idea: the exact set, number, edition, and whether the card is raw or graded all split the market. Language, holofoil, and whether the card is in a graded slab also split the market.
We show current public listings, which are asking prices. A sold price can be lower. Condition is not a side note: centering, corners, edges, and surface wear can move a card from a high listing to a modest one. Do not clean a card to improve a photo. Fakes and proxies exist, especially for famous early cards, so compare printing, colour, and the back pattern with a known genuine copy if a price looks too good.
Collectors buy and sell worldwide. Listings you see may be in US dollars or in another currency depending on the market. The app can draft a listing for eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Gumtree when you are ready to sell.
Guides in this group
How much is my trading card worth
Photograph the front and back so the set and finish are readable, then confirm the identification.
Baseball card value
Year, set, player, and whether the card is raw or graded. Many junk-wax cards sell for very little.
Yu-Gi-Oh card value

What makes How Much Is It Worth different
One photo is enough to start, and you can add up to two more angles. We identify the item first, you confirm or correct it, then we look up a Worth about figure and a listed range from current public marketplace listings. Those are asking prices, which can sit above what a piece finally sells for. You see the listings themselves when we find enough of them.
Coins and banknotes also draw on Numista. Trading cards use PokéWallet, with a source credit where that data appears. Gold and silver use a live metal price as a floor. If listings are thin, we show a clearly labelled rough estimate rather than inventing a precise number. The app can draft a listing for eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Gumtree once you are ready to sell. For the short version of this process, read How we price.
FAQ
What do these card price guides cover?
They cover Pokémon cards and other trading cards, with the exact set, edition, language, and condition, plus whether a card is raw or graded. A first-edition print and an unlimited print are different markets.
Can I scan a card online free?
Yes. Photograph the front and back, confirm the identification, and we will look up a listed range when we find enough current public listings. Trading card prices use PokéWallet, shown with a source credit where that data appears.
Is a listed price the same as a sold price?
Not always. We show a range from current public listings, which are asking prices. A sold price can be lower. When we find enough listings, we show them so you can see the spread.
Are these figures an appraisal?
No. They are estimates from identification plus current listings or a specialist catalogue, not a certified appraisal and not an offer to buy.
