Every sale here was matched to this exact card: the right number, set, printing and language, one card per listing, raw kept apart from graded. Where a venue sells by card and gives no listing title to check, the row says the venue named the card. Listings we can’t be sure of are left out. A price marked ≤ is an asking price, not a confirmed sale. On an accepted best offer we show what the buyer paid, not the asking price; where that isn’t on record the asking price is shown as a ceiling and never counts towards the price. A sale marked unusual is far from that grade’s market price: it stays on the record, and is left out of this page’s latest-sale and comparison figures. Sales record updated Nov 11, 2026.

Grade it with PSA?

Grade yours from photos →Change the costs, or add your own odds →

If it gets a PSA 10: −$5.17
If it gets a PSA 9: −$83.77
PSA fee for a PSA 10: $59.99 Standard
Slab sale price to break even: $111at Standard, $59.99
Grading pays, at today’s prices: No priced grade
Historical PSA 10 rate: 52%

Against selling raw at $12.99, after the PSA fee for what the slab is worth (a 10 goes in at Standard, $59.99; a 9 at the same level), $25.00 shipping and insurance, and eBay US selling fees, as the selling calculator works them out, with its usual $5 postage and $1 packing on each sale: the same sum as the selling calculator. Each grade is charged the fee level its own slab price needs, so the break-even price carries the fee for a slab at that price, not the PSA 10 fee. These are outcomes if the card gets each grade, not the chance that it will. PSA has graded 109 copies; 57 got a 10.

About

About this card

Pokémon Communication is card 196 of 181 in the Team Up price guide, a set released in February 2019 during the Sun & Moon era. Its number runs past the set’s printed 181, which marks it as a secret rare. The artwork is by Ayaka Yoshida. In the checklist it sits after Metal Goggles 195/181.

It is the 44th most valuable of the 197 priced cards in Team Up, behind Latias & Latios-GX 170/181 (see the most valuable Team Up cards).

What the data says

Only 4 ungraded copies sold in the last 90 days, so a single sale can move the value a long way.

A PSA 10 is valued at 8.1× the ungraded price ($105 against $12.99), and a PSA 9 at $14.40.

PSA has graded 109 copies, 57 of them PSA 10 (52%). That describes the copies sent in, not the chance a given card grades 10.
