How much is my Pokémon card worth?
The value of a Pokémon card comes down to four things: the exact card and set, its rarity, its condition, and — if it's slabbed — its grade. The fastest way to know is to check what that exact card is actually selling for right now. SlabCheck does it in seconds: search a card or snap a photo and get the raw value plus PSA 10, 9, and 8 prices from real sold listings.
Identify the exact card first
Two cards that look identical can be worth wildly different amounts. Check the collector number in the bottom corner (e.g. 4/102) and the set symbol. A 1999 Base Set Charizard is a different card — and a different price — from a modern reprint with the same artwork. Get the exact printing right and the value follows.
Condition changes the price a lot
A raw card's value depends heavily on condition. A Near Mint (NM) copy can be worth several times a Heavily Played (HP) one. The standard grades collectors use are NM, Lightly Played (LP), Moderately Played (MP), Heavily Played (HP), and Damaged (DMG). SlabCheck shows a price for each so you value your card at its real condition.
Is it worth grading?
A PSA 10 can be worth many times the raw value of the same card — but grading costs money (around $25) and takes time, and not every card comes back a 10. The math that matters is:
PSA 10 sold price − raw price − ~$25 fee = estimated profit
SlabCheck runs this for you automatically. It pulls the real PSA 10 and PSA 9 sold prices, subtracts the fee, and gives a clear verdict — 🔥 Worth grading (+$X) or ❌ Keep it raw — so you only pay to grade the cards that actually pay you back.

Pokémon card value — FAQ
How do I find out how much my Pokémon card is worth?
Identify the exact card (name, set, and collector number in the bottom corner), then look up recent sold prices for that specific printing in its condition. SlabCheck does this for you — search the card or snap a photo and it returns the raw value plus PSA 10, 9, and 8 prices from real sold listings.
What makes one Pokémon card worth more than another?
Four things: the exact card and set (a Base Set Charizard is not a reprint Charizard), its rarity/print (holo, illustration rare, secret rare), its condition (Near Mint sells for far more than Played), and its grade if slabbed. A PSA 10 can be worth many times the raw value of the same card.
Is it worth getting my card graded by PSA?
Only if the graded value minus the grading fee (about $25) beats the raw value by enough to be worth the wait and risk. SlabCheck compares your card's raw price against its PSA 10 and PSA 9 sold prices and tells you the estimated profit — so you grade the winners and keep the rest raw.
Where do the prices come from?
From real, recent sold and active listings — not a made-up guess. Values update regularly so they reflect what cards are actually selling for right now.
