Pokémon Card FAQs

What are the Pokémon card types?

Pokémon cards come in three main types: Pokémon, Trainer, and Energy cards. Pokémon cards represent creatures used in battle and come in different elemental types (like Fire, Water, or Electric). Trainer cards support gameplay with effects or tools. Energy cards power a Pokémon’s attacks.

How are Pokémon card values determined?

Card values are based on rarity, condition, edition, demand, and whether the card is graded. Factors like being a 1st Edition, having a holographic finish, or being competitively viable can increase value. Popularity of the Pokémon and current market trends also play a role.

Is 1st Edition better than Unlimited?

Yes, 1st Edition cards are usually more valuable than Unlimited cards. They were printed in smaller quantities and marked with a “1st Edition” stamp, making them more collectible and desirable to buyers.

How do graded Pokémon cards work?

Graded cards are professionally evaluated for condition and authenticity by services like PSA, CGC, or Beckett. Cards receive a numeric score (typically 1–10), sealed in a tamper-proof case. Higher grades, especially 9 or 10, can significantly increase a card’s value.

What is the difference between Holo, Reverse Holo, and Non-Holo Pokémon cards?

  • Holo (Holographic): The artwork of the Pokémon is shiny.
  • Reverse Holo: The artwork is matte, but the rest of the card is holographic.
  • Non-Holo: No holographic effect—entirely flat finish. Holos and Reverse Holos tend to be more sought after than Non-Holos.

Should I get my Pokémon cards graded before selling them?

It depends. Grading adds value to rare, vintage, or mint-condition cards. But for modern or lower-value cards, grading may cost more than the potential increase in value. If you're unsure, bring them into PayMore—we'll help you decide if grading is worth it.
