What Pokémon Cards Sold For, Aug to Nov 2026: Prices From 2,709 Sales

Pokémon Cards Sold Prices, August to November 2026

The median Pokémon card sale from August to November 2026 was $63, and the middle half of sales fell between $28.79 and $162. Among single pieces, 38% sold for $100 or more.

Those figures come from 3,285 sold listings our scans pulled in, covering August 2026 to November 2026. That is 2,709 single pieces and 576 lots, one row per listing. It is what our scans captured, not every sale on the market. The table below has the full numbers, and this post explains what sits behind them. For a card-by-card look, the Pokémon cards value guide covers more.

What separates a $28.79 sale from a $260 one

The bottom quarter of single sales landed at $28.79 or less, while the top tenth started at $260. Almost nothing in this category is priced by "Pokémon card." It is priced by four checks, and a reseller who skips one of them reprices the card wrong.

Identity comes first: the character, the set, and the card number. A card marked 165/181 is a different item from a card marked 34/119, even if both show the same Pokémon.

Variant is next. Holo, full art, reverse holo, promo, and Japanese versus English all change the comp you should use. The highest sales in this pull carry words like "Full Art," "Holo," and "Japanese Promo" right in the title.

Condition is the third check. Graded cards sell against graded comps, and a PSA 10 does not price like a raw card of the same name. I have seen sellers pull a clean-looking card from a bulk bin and quote a graded price for it. The buyer's comp is the raw one.

Completeness is the fourth. A sealed box, a single card, and a loose handful from a binder are three different products. Lots had a median of $26.99 in this pull, well under the $63 single-card median.

What the highest sales have in common

Here are the top sales we have listed from this pull:

• 2011 Pokemon TCG Black & White Emerging Powers Booster Box SEALED WITH ACRYLIC: $11,099 (Oct 22)
• 2019 POKEMON SUN & MOON TEAM UP #165 FULL ART/GENGAR & MIMIKYU GX PSA 10: $6,800 (Oct 25)
• Pokemon Gengar & Mimikyu Gx Team Up Full Art 165/181 PSA 10 Gem Mint: $6,750 (Oct 25)
• 2019 POKEMON SUN & MOON TEAM UP #165 FULL ART/GENGAR & MIMIKYU GX PSA 10: $6,675 (Oct 25)
• 2001 POKEMON JAPANESE PROMO POKEMON CARD GB2: HERE COMES TEAM GR! LUGIA PSA 10: $6,600 (Oct 30)
• Pokemon Gengar EX 34/119 XY Phantom Forces Holo Full Art PSA 10 144806881: $6,556 (Oct 26)

Read the titles and three patterns show up. First, every one is either a PSA 10 or a sealed product. None is a raw single. Second, four of the six are Gengar cards, and the Gengar & Mimikyu GX Team Up Full Art #165 appears three times, at $6,675, $6,750, and $6,800. Third, the titles name the set, the number, and the grade, so a buyer can match them to a comp without guessing.

The sealed 2011 Black & White Emerging Powers booster box tops the list at $11,099, which shows that completeness can outrank a graded single.

I would not read a market trend into these. Six sales cannot say where prices are heading. They do show which combinations of identity, variant, and condition reach the top of the range.

What to do with a Pokémon cards find

Price each card against sold comps for the exact variant and grade, not against the character name. Pokémon cards sold comps only help when they match on set, number, and condition.

1. Identify the card fully. Read the set symbol and the number at the bottom of the card, such as 165/181, and note whether it is holo, full art, or a promo.
2. Check the language. A Japanese promo and its English counterpart do not share a comp.
3. Filter to sold listings only. Asking prices tell you what sellers hope for, not what the card sells for.
4. Match the condition. Compare raw cards to raw sales and graded cards to the same grade. Look hard at corners and surface before you decide a card is worth sending for grading.
5. Decide single or lot. Put the cards that clear your price floor up individually and bundle the rest.

A scanning tool saves time here. Underpriced AI reads a card from your phone camera, pulls sold comps, and lets you cross-list to eBay, Mercari, and other marketplaces. Every new account gets one free scan, so use it on your best card first. For the rest of the pile, see the current plans.

Where the cheap end stops paying

In this pull, 19% of single pieces sold for under $20. After marketplace fees, postage, a sleeve, and a top loader, a sale in that range leaves little. Listing each one also costs you photo and packing time.

I keep a rule: if the comp is under $20, the card goes into a lot. The lot median of $26.99 shows buyers do pay for a bundle, and one shipment replaces ten. For help deciding which kinds of finds earn a place in your cart at all, see collectibles worth flipping.

Is it worth selling Pokémon cards under $20?

Rarely as single listings. In our pull of sold listings, 19% of single pieces sold under $20, and fees and shipping take a large share of a sale that size. Bundling them into lots works better, since lots had a median of $26.99.
