The Top 10 Most Valuable Pokémon TCG Cards That You Might Actually Own

With the Pokémon Trading Card Game's popularity at an all-time high, people are rushing to their old collections and hoping to find a few treasures they can sell. You see stories of cards being flipped for five or even six digits online with alarming regularity, causing the COVID-19 pandemic's equivalent of a gold rush. However, if you're a casual fan digging out their old binders, there is a slim chance you'll find any of those mythical best-sellers in your collection. While paying off your mortgage from one card may be all but impossible, you can still make a healthy profit. With that in mind, here are the top ten most valuable Pokémon cards that you might actually own. To work this out, I went through every single Pokémon set on TCGPlayer's price database and noted every single card worth with a market value of more than $100. I then removed all promotional cards, including tournament prizes, limited editions, and gift cards given to the game's staff. While these can be worth a lot, it is very unlikely someone is going to have them sitting under their bed and simply not know about it. Keep in mind that market prices for cards fluctuate quickly, meaning cards from recent sets like Shining Fates or Vivid Voltage might not hold their value as well as a Base set card from the '90s. It's also worth remembering that TCGPlayer's prices are an average; you could sell your own for much more or much less, depending on the quality of the card.#10 – Stormfront Charizard, $489.46Prepare to see a lot of Charizard on this list. As the series' most popular Pokémon, it appears on almost all of the cards here in some form or another. Stormfront was released in 2008 under the Diamond & Pearl umbrella. While not one of the set's many rare Lv. X Pokémon, Charizard was still a highly coveted Secret Rare, putting him as the most valuable card from the entire set.#9 – Aquapolis Lugia, $490Aquapolis came from that weird e-Card era of the Pokémon Trading Card game, where cards could be scanned into the e-Reader peripheral for the Gameboy Advance. While the whole thing was a total failure (the e-Reader was never even released in Europe, yet the cards were...), some of the cards from that time are still pretty valuable. Lugia (also known as 'Crystal Lugia', due to its Crystal Type ability) is the most expensive card from Aquapolis, coming in at around $490-$500.#8 – FireRed & LeafGreen Charizard ex, $500The return to Kanta in the GameBoy Advance era also saw the TCG follow suit, with a set entirely featuring Pokémon from the original 151. To give it that Advance generation flair, a number of Pokémon also received an ex form, a new feature that was first introduced in EX Ruby & Sapphire. Of course, the #1 card was Charizard ex.#7 – Shining Fates Charizard VMAX, $510The newest card on this list, Shining Fates only launched last month, and brought with it a whole load of Shiny Pokémon.
