The Vault

Explore Pokémon cards and rare finds: discover the artwork, understand the printing, and keep track of the cards you love. Open any card for collector notes and a dated market estimate.

Our tiers are editorial groupings, not official rarity rankings. Prices refer to raw, ungraded cards; check the finish and source date on each card.

Curated tier 01

Grail

Secret, hyper, gold star and special illustration rares — the cards collectors chase for years.

$2,501

Rayquaza ★

Deoxys, #107

Estimated

$2,501

Explore this card ↗

Collector’s notes

A black Rayquaza, a gold star beside its name, and artwork that breaks out of the frame. An expressive centrepiece for a Rayquaza or EX-era collection.

Before you collect
Match Deoxys #107 and the star in the name. Inspect the foil, yellow borders and back for scratches, whitening and creases; compare the same printing and condition.
A collection idea
Build a Rayquaza page across different eras, or make this the focal point of a Gold Star collection.

Collector’s notes

Giratina V fills the frame with an intricate, otherworldly scene. This is a strong pick for someone who collects illustration as much as Pokémon characters.

Before you collect
Match Lost Origin #186. Other Giratina V prints are separate cards; compare the exact artwork and number.
A collection idea
Follow the credited illustrator, or build a page of Legendary Pokémon with full-card scenery.

Curated tier 03

Holo

Classic holofoil rares — the shine that started it all.

Lugia — Neo Genesis
$1,300

Lugia

Neo Genesis, #9

Estimated

$1,300

Explore this card ↗

Collector’s notes

Neo Genesis Lugia is a vintage holographic interpretation of the Johto Legendary Pokémon. It gives a Lugia collection a distinct early-era anchor.

Before you collect
Match #9 and distinguish 1st Edition from unlimited. Inspect the holo surface and compare matching-condition copies.
A collection idea
Pair it with Silver Tempest Lugia V already in the Vault.

Curated tier 04

Rare

Classic non-holo rares and selected promos — distinctive prints beyond the main-set checklist.

Mew-EX — XY Black Star Promos
$274

Mew-EX

XY Black Star Promos, #XY126

Estimated

$274

Explore this card ↗

Collector’s notes

Eske Yoshinob’s Mew-EX XY126 promo adds a full-card illustration from the XY era to a collection following Mew through different releases.

Before you collect
Match promo number XY126 and the exact artwork. Promo numbering is separate from expansion numbering; inspect the surface, edges and corners.
A collection idea
Compare it with Fusion Strike Mew V and Paldean Fates Mew ex for an art-led Mew binder page.

Curated tier 05

Uncommon

Marked with a diamond. Plentiful, but key to completing a set.

Ivysaur — Base
$5.68

Ivysaur

Base, #30

Estimated

$5.68

Explore this card ↗

Collector’s notes

Base Set Ivysaur bridges Bulbasaur and Venusaur. A character-led collection can give this uncommon as much attention as the holographic final evolution.

Before you collect
Match Base Set #30 and the printing. Check the back for whitening and the face for handling marks.
A collection idea
Complete the vintage Bulbasaur line, or compare with 151’s Ivysaur.

Saved in this browser. You can mark a card as owned and wanted.

Curated tier 06

Common

Marked with a circle. Every pack has them — but mint vintage commons still surprise.

Pikachu — Base
$11.19

Pikachu

Base, #58

Estimated

$11.19

Explore this card ↗

Collector’s notes

Base Set Pikachu is an early interpretation of Pokémon’s mascot. Small print details make identifying the exact copy part of the collecting interest.

Before you collect
Check cheek colour, edition stamp and frame shadow. Catalog #58 alone does not establish a red-cheeks variant or its price.
A collection idea
Compare the vintage design with 151 Pikachu and Surging Sparks Pikachu ex in the Vault.
