How to Tell if Your Pokemon Card Is Rare

BackingPeck·7 months ago

First off, check the bottom right corner of your card for a symbol. Common cards have a circle, uncommon cards sport a diamond, and rare cards proudly display a star. If you've got a star, congrats, it's rare! Also, look out for holographic cards; if your Pokemon or the entire card has a shiny, iridescent finish, that's another sign of rarity. Lastly, check the card number; if it's higher than the total number in the set, you've got yourself a super rare or secret rare card.

Not all rare cards are worth a lot though. Remember, condition and demand also play huge roles in a card's value. I've had some rare cards that weren't worth much because nobody really wanted them, while some uncommon ones sold for more because they were in high demand for gameplay or collection purposes.
