Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different Pokemon TCG rarities?
Pokemon TCG cards range from Common (circle symbol) to increasingly rare: Uncommon (diamond), Rare (star), Rare Holo, Ultra Rare, Secret Rare, and special rarities like Illustration Rare and Special Art Rare.
How do I tell the rarity of a Pokemon card?
Look at the bottom-right corner of the card near the set number. A circle means Common, a diamond means Uncommon, and a star means Rare or higher. Modern sets also print the rarity name.
Which rarity is most valuable?
Secret Rare, Special Art Rare, and Illustration Rare cards are typically the most valuable. However, vintage holographic rares from early sets can exceed modern ultra rares in value.
