What makes a Pokémon trading card valuable?
The first step is to identify the type of card. Is it mass produced, or is the card associated with a special event of some kind, such as a tournament? The Pikachu Illustrator card awarded in a competition, for example, is extremely valuable.
The next step is to check the rarity of the card. Essentially, are you going to find plenty of them out in the market? What makes a card rare or exclusive are special characteristics, the card material, the Pokémon type, or the number of cards released? Many valuable trading cards come from the fact that are a limited number of cards printed. Another factor contributing to rarity is misprints or typos on a card.
Complete sets are often a contributing factor to the value of a trading card. For example, a complete set of standard cards will be worth more in a set than individually.
The condition of the trading card is extremely important regarding the value of your Pokémon trading card. You can have your trading cards PSA graded adding to the authenticity of the card.
